On the last day of Paryushan, which is Samvatsari, the main mood is forgiveness (Kshama). People ask for forgiveness from all beings for any hurt caused, knowingly or unknowingly, and renew their vows to live more righteously.

What to say or wish

• Micchami Dukkadam — May all my wrongdoings be forgiven.
• Kshamavani — I seek your forgiveness; please forgive me for any harm I may have caused.
• Simple day-to-day wish (spoken or written): “Samvatsari ni hardik shubhkamnao” (Warm wishes for Samvatsari) and a note of apology to those you have wronged.

Key idea to keep in mind

• On Samvatsari, perform pratikraman (confession/repentance) and ask forgiveness from all living beings, including teachers, parents, peers, friends, and even for any unintentional harm to animals, plants, or the environment. This is the heart of the day.

If you’d like, I can provide a short, traditional prayer or a one-page note you can read or write for this occasion.
