Paryushana is an annual holy event for Jains and is usually celebrated in August or September in Hindi calendar (Indian calendar) Bhadrapad Month's Shukla Paksha.[1][2] Jains increase their level of spiritual intensity often using fasting and prayer/meditation to help.[3][4] The five main vows are emphasized during this time.[5] There are no set rules, and followers are encouraged to practice according to their ability and desires. The event lasts for 8 days, and ends with the celebration of Samvatsari (forgiveness day).
