When is Digambar Paryushan

In Jainism, Paryushan is a significant annual festival observed by both major sects: Shwetambar and Digambar, though the dates and duration differ.

For Digambar Jains, Paryushan is known as Das Lakshan Parva. It typically begins on the day after the Shwetambar Paryushan ends. The festival lasts for 10 days, during which Digambar Jains focus on the ten universal virtues (Das Lakshan).

The timing of Digambar Paryushan (Das Lakshan Parva) is based on the lunar calendar and typically falls in the Bhadrapada month (August–September). The precise dates vary each year.

For example, in 2024:

• Digambar Paryushan (Das Lakshan Parva) is from September 8 to September 17, 2024 (dates may vary slightly by location and community tradition).

The festival culminates with Anant Chaturdashi, the last day of Das Lakshan Parva, which is considered highly auspicious.
