Samvatsari Parva
Samvatsari is considered to be the holiest of all the Jain festivals. It can easily be summed up to be a festival of forgiveness. It is observed on the last day of the Paryusana, which is the Jain festival lasting for 8 or 10 days. Paryusana is the main festival for both the sects of Jain – Swetamvaras and the Digamvaras. The period of samvatsar arrives 50 days after and 70 days before the end of Chaturmas period that is strictly followed by the Jain monks.
