Paryuṣaṇā (पर्युषणा).—Paryuṣaṇā is the foremost religious festival of all Jain yearly festivals. Its prominent position derives from the fact that it corresponds to a point of temporal juncture in the year, which marks the end of the rainy season. Its last day, sāṃvatsari, marks the beginning of a new year. Its importance is attested by the large variety of literary forms that are associated with it. It is the only Jain parva that is directly associated with a canonical text, namely the kalpasūtra.
