Below is the Digambar Jain framework for Paryushan known as Das Lakshana Parva (10 days). Each day is a focus on a specific virtue, with practical ways to practice it during the festival. The last day is Samvatsari (forgiveness) as part of this period in many communities, and the overall aim is inner purification through daily reflection, discipline, and compassionate conduct.

Additional notes

• In Digambar tradition, Paryushan is often seen as Das Lakshana Parva: 10 days dedicated to these virtues, culminating in a period of forgiveness and reflection. Many communities also incorporate Pratikraman, Kalpa Sutra recitations, Chaitya Paripati (visiting temples), and Attham Tap (three days of fasting) as part of the observance, with the Samvatsari Pratikraman on the final day. The exact practices can vary by sangh and region, but the core aim remains steady: self-purification through virtuous conduct and forgiveness.
