what to wish on day 1 of paryushan

On the first day of Paryushan, it is appropriate to greet fellow Jains with wishes that reflect the spirit of the festival, focusing on self-purification, forgiveness, and spiritual upliftment. Traditional greetings and wishes include:

• "Michhami Dukkadam" (I seek forgiveness for any harm caused knowingly or unknowingly.)

Note: This phrase is most commonly exchanged on Samvatsari, the last day, but can be used throughout Paryushan as a spirit of forgiveness.

• "Paryushan Parva ki Shubhkamnayein"

(Best wishes for the holy festival of Paryushan.)

• "May this Paryushan Parva bring peace, happiness, and spiritual upliftment to you and your family."

• "Let us purify our souls and seek forgiveness during this sacred festival."

You may also say:

• "Paryushan Mahaparva par aapko aur aapke parivaar ko hardik shubhkamnayein."

(Heartiest wishes to you and your family on the great festival of Paryushan.)

These wishes help set a tone of introspection, forgiveness, and devotion as Paryushan begins.
