Answer

“Rai Pratikraman” generally means the morning Pratikraman performed by Jain shravaks/shravikas to repent for faults committed during the night and to renew the resolve for right conduct during the day.

The exact vidhi can vary by Jain tradition, gaccha, sampradāy, and family practice, so it is best learned from a knowledgeable guru, upādhyāy, sādhu-sādhvī, or trained pratikraman teacher.
