Option 3 : Jain

The correct answer is Jain.

  • Paryushan Parva is the king of all festivals for the whole Jain community living across the globe.
  • Thus, it is also known as Parva Dhiraj.
  • The festival lasts eight days.
  • Every year this festival of Paryushan starts on Shravan Vad 12th or 13th and ends on Bhadarva sud 4th or 5th (late August – September).

  • Every Jain tries to follow the basic principles of Jainism during this festival, which are:
    • Right knowledge
    • Right faith
    • Right conduct
  • This festival gives everyone a chance for self-analysis and deep introspection.
  • It also reminds us that life’s eventual and main aim is not the pursuit of materialism but to attain the state of Nirvana.
  • Paryushan stands for some of the most important practices like
    • Nonviolence (Ahimsa).
    • Engaging in self-discipline (Sanyam).
    • Partial or complete fasting Penance (Tapah).
    • Study of Scriptures (Swadhyaya).
    • Introspection (Pratikraman).
    • Repentance (Prayaschitta).
