Das Lakshan (Dash Lakshan Parva) is a Digambar Jain festival of ten days focused on the ten supreme virtues of the soul. Each day is dedicated to meditating on and practicing one virtue, with fasting and reflection often part of the observance. The ten Lakshanas are listed as the virtues below.

The Ten Lakshanas

• Uttam Kshama — Supreme Forgiveness
• Uttam Mardav — Supreme Humility
• Uttam Arjava — Supreme Straightforwardness
• Uttam Shaucha — Supreme Purity/Contentment
• Uttam Satya — Supreme Truthfulness
• Uttam Sanyam — Supreme Self-restraint
• Uttam Tap — Supreme Austerity
• Uttam Tyag — Supreme Renunciation
• Uttam Akinchanya — Supreme Non-attachment
• Uttam Brahmacharya — Supreme Celibacy

Key notes

• Das Lakshan Parva is observed mainly in the Digambar tradition as a ten-day program that follows Paryushan. It emphasizes the highest forms of conduct (the Uttam Lakshanas) to purify the soul. ( jainknowledge.com)
• Shwetambar Jains generally observe Paryushan Parva (often eight days) with the important last day being Samvatsari; the explicit “Das Lakshan” framing is more characteristic of the Digambar practice. The core virtues align with forgiveness, humility, truth, restraint, and purity. ( yja.org, festivalsofindia.in)

About dates in 2025

• The exact calendar days for Das Lakshan Parva (the ten-day period) are determined by the lunar calendar and regional temple calendars. In practice, Digambar communities mark these ten days directly after Paryushan, whose dates shift yearly. If you need the precise 2025 dates for your locality, please check your temple’s calendar or a local Jain communal calendar for Digambar communities. The general principle remains the same: ten days devoted to the Uttam Lakshanas, following Paryushan. ( jainknowledge.com, yja.org)
