When is paryushan in 2025

Paryushan is the most important festival in Jainism, celebrated with great spiritual fervor by both the Shvetämbar and Digambar sects. The Shvetämbar sect observes it for 8 days, while the Digambar sect celebrates it for 10 days, known as Das Lakshana Parva. The festival typically falls during August or September, depending on the lunar calendar. It involves intense religious activities such as fasting, prayers, and Pratikraman (ritual of repentance).

The context mentions that the first day of Paryushan can be aligned with the last Saturday of August for practical reasons, allowing devotees to engage in religious observances without disrupting school or work schedules. However, no specific Gregorian calendar dates for the year 2025 are provided in the sources. Since Paryushan follows the lunar calendar, its dates vary each year and are usually announced by Jain religious authorities closer to the time.
