Digamber jain paryushan when

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

• Shwetambar Jains observe Paryushan for 8 days, usually in the month of August or September (the exact dates vary according to the lunar calendar).
• Digambar Jains observe Paryushan for 10 days, known as Das Lakshan Parva.

For Digambar Jains (Das Lakshan Parva):

• It typically begins on the 5th day (Panchami) of the Shukla Paksha (bright half) of the Bhadrapada month in the Jain lunar calendar and continues for 10 days.
• The festival usually falls around August or September, but the exact dates change every year based on the lunar calendar.

In 2024:

• For Digambar Jains, Das Lakshan Parva (Paryushan) is expected to start on September 11, 2024, and end on September 20, 2024.
• The last day, Anant Chaturdashi, is especially significant for seeking forgiveness (Kshamavani).

Please note: Always check with your local Jain community or temple for the exact dates, as they may vary by region and calendar interpretations.
