Paryushan is the most auspicious festival of Jain community that falls in the lunar month of Bhadra. The Swetambar community observes Paryushan for eight days ending with Samvatsari, the divine day of forgiveness, and the Digambar community observes this for ten days in the name of "Das Lakshan Parva".
There are confusions about the solar date, as lunar calendars differ sometimes to each other; hence, Paryushan this year will start either on August 29 or 30, 2016. Some sects of Shwetambar Jain will follow the date 29 and some 30. Following this, Samvatsari will be either on September 5 or 6, 2016.
