I think you mean “Paryushan.” Here is a simple, authentic guide to what to follow. It covers both Shwetambar (8 days, ending with Samvatsari) and Digambar (10 days, Das Lakshan, ending with Kshamavani).

Purpose

• Self-purification by reducing sins, increasing forgiveness, and living Ahimsa, Satya, Aparigraha.

Daily essentials (for all)

• Namokar Mantra and 48‑minute Samayik (sit calmly, reflect on the soul).
• Pratikraman: morning/evening; confess, repent, resolve to improve.
• Control the four kashayas: anger, pride, deceit, greed. Keep some periods of silence (maun).
• Truthful speech; avoid gossip, arguments, and entertainment.
• Jiv‑daya: utmost care for living beings; handle food, water, and movement carefully; reduce travel and night activity.
• Aparigraha: keep needs minimal; avoid shopping and indulgence; do charity/seva discreetly.

Food and fasting (follow what your health allows)

• Strict vegetarian (no eggs), avoid root vegetables; many observe only one or two simple meals, taken before sunset; drink filtered/boiled water.
• Keep food simple; avoid new/extra items and outside food; minimize spices.
• Fasting options: Upvas (no food), Ekasana (one meal), Beasana (two meals), Attham (3 days), longer only with guidance. Break fasts with care and with devotion.

Study and reflection

• Daily svadhyay (scriptures), listen to pravachan, contemplate the 12 bhavnas (Anitya, Asharan, etc.).
• Avoid wasting time; keep mind in dharma.

Shwetambar Paryushan (8 days)

• Scriptural focus: Kalpasutra recitation; life of Bhagwan Mahavir is read (Janma Vaanchan).
• Key observance: Samvatsari (Day 8) – perform full Pratikraman, ask and grant forgiveness to all: “Michhami Dukkadam.”
• Many observe “no green” items in addition to no roots; keep diet very simple; emphasize pratikraman and penance over social functions.

Digambar Das‑Lakshan (10 days) Each day centers on one supreme virtue; live it in thought, word, deed: 1) Uttam Kshama (forgiveness) – forgive and seek forgiveness. 2) Uttam Mardav (humility) – drop ego; be gentle. 3) Uttam Arjav (straightforwardness) – complete honesty. 4) Uttam Shauch (contented purity) – inner cleanliness, contentment. 5) Uttam Satya (truth) – speak truth that does not harm. 6) Uttam Sanyam (self‑restraint) – guard senses; reduce desires. 7) Uttam Tap (austerity) – fasting, study, meditation with right intention. 8) Uttam Tyag (renunciation) – give up unnecessary possessions and habits. 9) Uttam Akinchan (non‑attachment) – feel “nothing is mine.” 10) Uttam Brahmacharya (celibacy/chastity) – purity in conduct and thought.

• Kshamavani (Day 10 or the Sunday after) – universal forgiveness.

Special highlights

• Forgiveness: from the heart, to every living being; not a formality.
• Charity: offer food/water thoughtfully to ascetics/laity without pomp.
• Health: if unwell, choose milder vows; intent (bhav) matters more than the size of tapas.

How to conclude

• Do Samvatsari (Shwetambar) or Kshamavani (Digambar) Pratikraman sincerely.
• Personally reach out (or message) “Michhami Dukkadam”/“Uttam Kshama” to all.
• Make small, concrete resolutions for the year: e.g., weekly Samayik, reduce one attachment, improve truthfulness.
