Samvatsari

Hey kiddo, let me tell you about Samvatsari. In India, there is a festival celebrated by Jains called Paryushan. On the last day of Paryushan, they celebrate Samvatsari.

Samvatsari is a very special day for Jains as they ask for forgiveness for any mistakes or hurtful things they may have done knowingly or unknowingly throughout the year. It's like saying sorry to someone when you know you did something wrong.

Jains observe a day of fast and meditation on Samvatsari. They listen to sermons and reflect on their actions and behavior throughout the year. They also make a promise to themselves to avoid repeating the same mistakes and be better human beings.

On this day, Jains seek forgiveness from their loved ones, friends, and family members who may have been hurt by their actions. They also forgive and forget any wrongdoings done by others.

So Samvatsari is a day of reflection, introspection, and forgiveness celebrated by Jains.
