Samvatsari is the last day of the Paryushana festival, celebrated by Jains. It is a significant day for reflection, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal. On this day, Jains seek forgiveness from others for any harm caused, intentionally or unintentionally, during the past year.
The observance of Samvatsari includes rituals such as fasting and prayer. Many Jains also perform the ritual of Pratikraman, which involves introspection and repentance. This day emphasizes the importance of compassion and harmony in relationships, marking a fresh start for the coming year.
