Answer

Pakhi Pratikraman usually takes around 2 to 3 hours, depending on:

• the tradition followed,
• the speed of recitation,
• whether it is done individually or in a sangh,
• and how detailed the vidhi is.

Explanation

Pakhi Pratikraman is performed once every fortnight, on Chaudas or Poonam/Amas depending on tradition. Since it is more detailed than daily Rai Pratikraman or Devasi Pratikraman, it generally takes longer.

Takeaway

The time may vary, but the main purpose is not speed — it is sincere repentance, reflection, and purification of the soul.
