About Paryushan
This year, Paryushan was observed from August 20 to August 27, 2025. Considered one of Jainism’s holiest festivals, it focuses on forgiveness, fasting, meditation, and spiritual growth. Devotees emphasise the five vows of Jainism while also greeting each other with “Michhami Dukkadam”, a heartfelt way of seeking and granting forgiveness.
