• Pratikraman is the Jain ritual of confession, reflection and forgiveness. Digambar and Shwetambar both perform it, but the structure and emphasis differ.

• Time and festival frame:

- Shwetambar: Paryushan Parmva (often 8 days) with Samvatsari on the last day, focusing on deep pratikraman, svadhyaya, fasting and Kalpa Sutra recitation. - Digambar: Daslakshan Parva (often 10 days) with each day devoted to one virtue (Kshama, Mardav, Arjav, Shauch, Satya, Sanyam, Tap, Tyag, Aikinchanya, Brahmacharya). Forgiveness is expressed mainly as Kshamavani at the end. ( jainknowledge.com, jainenlightened.org)

• What is prayed and reflected on:

- Shwetambar pratikraman centers a broad process of confession, repentance, and integration with Kalpasutra recitation during Paryushan. - Digambar pratikraman centers the systematic practice of ten virtues across the Daslakshan period, with a strong emphasis on practicing each virtue daily and then seeking forgiveness (Kshamavani) at the conclusion. ( jainknowledge.com)

• Practical differences you might notice in the ritual:

- The daily cadence and focus shift: Shwetambar tends to emphasize the Kalpa Sutra story-telling and broad repentance, while Digambar emphasizes disciplined virtue-practice (daslakshan) and a clear sequence of virtues during the period. ( jainknowledge.com) - Some Digambar communities perform a more structured “six or more Khamasaman” steps within Pratikraman; Shwetambar practice typically centers on five Khamasaman in the standard Pratikraman. (There can be local variations.) ( jainknowledge.com)
