In Jainism, Paryushan is one of the most important annual festivals, observed by both Shwetambar and Digambar sects, but with some differences in timing and duration. The Sthanakvasi are a sub-sect of the Shwetambar Jains.

For Sthanakvasi Jains, Paryushan typically begins on the 12th day of the waning phase of the month of Shravan (according to the Jain lunar calendar) and lasts for 8 days. The festival culminates on the Samvatsari day, which is the day of forgiveness (Micchami Dukkadam).

The exact Gregorian dates vary from year to year because the Jain calendar is lunar. Usually, Paryushan for Sthanakvasi Jains falls in August or September.

For precise dates each year, it is recommended to consult a Jain calendar or your local Jain community, as the festival's start and end may vary slightly by region and sect.
