What is samvatsari?
Samvatsari is the last day of Paryushana. It is a common
practice for Jains to do most important and biggest Pratikamana on
this day. Many Jain families may choose some place to gather, such
as Upasraya, some Jain family's residence, to pray and do
Pratikamana. Samvatsari is considered as the most pious day of a
year and Jain people do prayer on this day to ask for the
forgiveness for anything they did to hurt you by means of thoughts,
words, acts or deeds.
