what are the 8 days of paryushan parv called

During Paryushan Parv, which is the most significant annual festival for Shwetambar Jains, the eight days are not individually named like days of a week but are collectively observed with daily spiritual practices, self-reflection, and penance. However, the eighth day, known as Samvatsari, holds special importance as the day of forgiveness (Kshamavani), when Jains seek and grant forgiveness for any harm caused intentionally or unintentionally.

The days of Paryushan are typically referred to as:

1. First day of Paryushan
2. Second day of Paryushan
3. Third day of Paryushan
4. Fourth day of Paryushan
5. Fifth day of Paryushan
6. Sixth day of Paryushan
7. Seventh day of Paryushan
8. Eighth day – Samvatsari

Each day is dedicated to reading scriptures (Kalpa Sutra), meditation, fasting, and other spiritual activities, but they do not have separate traditional names except the last (Samvatsari) in the Shwetambar tradition.

Among Digambar Jains, Paryushan is observed as Das Lakshan Parva over ten days, with each day dedicated to a specific virtue (dharma). The Shwetambar tradition, however, does not assign unique names or themes to each of the eight days except for Samvatsari.
