Date of Chaumasi paki
Chaumasi Pakhi (Pakhi Pratikraman) is the fortnighly Pratikraman done once in every lunar fortnight.
- When: on the 14th day (Chaturdashi) of each lunar fortnight. In practice, this means roughly twice a month, about every two weeks.
- Why it matters: it’s a focused chance to repent for faults in that fortnight and renew vows, within the Chaumasi/Chaturmas practice.
Key points from Jain practice:
- Pakhi Pratikraman is performed every fortnight (twice a lunar month). You can read more about how often Pakhi is done here.
- Chaumasi (Chaturmas) is the four-month period during the monsoon when Jains avoid travel and increase spiritual activities. It runs in a cycle of every four months.
