Considered one of the most important Jain holidays, Paryushana is an eight-to-ten day observance used as an intense time for study, reflection, purification, confession, and forgiveness. Paryushan translates to “coming together” which is evident in daily meditations and prayers for guidance. These daily sessions may be conducted alone or with others. Many Jains will also follow a very simple diet. This time is also known as the ‘Festival of Forgiveness.’
