Paryushan Parv 2025: Festival that teaches simplicity, peace, and compassion

Paryushan, Jainism’s most important festival, emphasizes silence, fasting, and forgiveness. It’s a time for introspection and spiritual cleansing, focusing on removing karmic dust through discipline and compassion. Celebrated by both Svetambara and Digambara Jains, it culminates in Samvatsari or Kshamavani, where individuals seek forgiveness for their actions, promoting inner peace and harmony.
