Pratikraman is a spiritual practice in Jainism that involves self-reflection and repentance. It is performed to acknowledge and atone for any wrongdoings or harmful actions committed, intentionally or unintentionally, during a specific period. This practice helps individuals purify their minds and souls, fostering a sense of accountability and moral responsibility. During Pratikraman, practitioners recite specific prayers and mantras, often focusing on forgiveness and the intention to improve. The ritual can be performed daily or during significant religious occasions, such as Paryushana, a time of heightened spiritual reflection in the Jain calendar.
