    How many types of pratikaman are there as per shvetambar

    12 months ago 112

    Shvetambar tradition recognizes five main Pratikraman (prayers of repentance) types:

    • Rai/Raisi Pratikraman (morning): reflect on transgressions during the night and begin the day with repentance.
    • Devasi Pratikraman (evening): review the day’s actions and confess mistakes committed during the day.
    • Pakshik Pratikraman (fortnightly): done every 15 days, on the 15th and 30th (sud/vad) of the lunar fortnight.
    • Chaumasi Pratikraman (quarterly): conducted once every four months, on the chaudas/purnima in Kartik, Falgun, and Ashadh (Ashadha) months.
    • Samvatsari Pratikraman (annual): performed at the end of Paryushan, confessional rite covering the year’s transgressions.

    Note: In Shvetambar practice, these are the traditional five categories; exact days may vary slightly by local tradition or sect lineage, but the fivefold structure remains standard.
