Paryushan Parva is Jainism’s major period of self-purification and forgiveness. There are two main traditions:

• Shvetambar: Paryushan lasts 8 days, ending with Samvatsari (the day of forgiveness).
• Digambar: Paryushan lasts 10 days, known as Das Lakshana Parva, ending with Kshamavani (universal forgiveness).

Key points for “10 days” (Digambar) and how it contrasts with the 8-day version (Shvetambar):

• Digambar (Das Lakshana Parva): Each day is devoted to one supreme virtue (das lakshana): Kshama (forgiveness), Mardav (humility), Arjava (straightforwardness), Shaucha (purity/contentment), Satya (truth), Samyam (self-control), Tapa (austerity), Tyag (renunciation), Akinchanya (non-attachment), Brahmacharya (celibacy).
• Shvetambar: Emphasizes study, especially of the Kalpa Sutra, fasting, meditation, and daily Pratikraman; the last day is Samvatsari, when Michhami Dukkadam (forgiveness) is exchanged with all beings.

Important rituals and practices (common themes):

• Fasting or constrained eating
• Readings from Jain scriptures and increased prayer
• Pratikraman (confession and soul-searching)
• Forgiveness: Michhami Dukkadam or Kshamavani, seeking and granting forgiveness to all living beings
• Charity and self-discipline
