Quick Answer
On 15 September 2026, the Jain occasion of Samvatsari is observed, which falls on Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi. Samvatsari is an important day in the Jain calendar.
Detailed Answer
Samvatsari is the last day of Paryushana, the most significant Jain festival dedicated to forgiveness and spiritual renewal. It is observed with great reverence and involves rituals of confession and seeking forgiveness from all living beings to purify oneself from accumulated karma. The date of Samvatsari varies each year according to the lunar calendar and in 2026 it falls on 15 September, coinciding with the tithi Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi. This day marks a time for Jains to reflect on their actions, perform pratikraman (introspection and repentance), and renew their commitment to non-violence and truthfulness.
