What is samvatsari?

Answer 1

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.
