Here is the Calendar for Jain Festivals 2018-2019. Jain festivals occur on designated days of the year. Most of them are either related to life events of Tirthankara or they are performed with intention of purification of soul.
There is a huge list of religious festivals in Jainism. Some of them are associated with five auspicious life events of Tirthankara known as Panch Kalyanaka.
Paryushana Parva is one of the most important Jain festivals. Paryushana is formed by two words meaning ‘a year’ and ‘a coming back’. This festival comes in Shravan Month and Bhadra Month (August – September).
