Answer

Chomasi Pakkhi, also written as Chaumasi Pakkhi, is the Jain observance that comes once every four months. It is a special time for pratikraman, self-reflection, and asking forgiveness. In many Jain traditions, it is linked with the four-monthly observance around the Jain calendar months of Ashadh, Kartik, and Phalgun/Falgun, though the exact tithi can vary by tradition and local panchang.

Explanation

In simple terms, Pakkhi is the fortnightly forgiveness day, and when that observance comes after four months, it is called Chaumasi Pakkhi. Jain texts describe it as a special four-monthly pratikraman observance for reviewing one’s conduct and seeking forgiveness. ( herenow4u.net)
