What are 10 days of daslakshanya with dates in 2025
Daslakshana Parva (Dashalakshana Parva) is the 10-day observance of ten virtuous dharmas during Paryushan, followed mainly by Digambar Jains. In 2025, the ten days for Daslakshana Parva are from Aug 28, 2025 to Sep 6, 2025. The days and the ten dharmas are listed below, with the everyday focus.
Days and dharmas (Digambar tradition; Shwetambar timing differs by temple bulletin, but the general period and the 10 virtues remain the same)
- Day 1 (Aug 28, 2025): Uttama Kshama — Forgiveness. Focus on letting go of anger and harboring patience.

Notes
- Digambar and Shwetambar communities mark the Daslakshana period slightly differently in the lunar calendar, and some temples publish the exact day-by-day schedule with specific starting points. The range Aug 28–Sep 6, 2025 is the commonly observed span for the 10-day Daslakshana Parva in many Digambar communities in 2025.
- The daily practice often includes chanting, readings from Tatvartha Sutra or related scriptures, and collective discourses on the ten dharmas.
If you’d like, I can add a brief sangrah (summary) of each dharma from a Jain canonical perspective, or tailor the list to a specific temple’s official dates for 2025.
