Micchami Dukkadam Wishes for your friends and family

Samvatsari  (संवत्सरी) or  the last day of the Jain festival of Paryushan is a day reserved for seeking forgiveness. The tradition recognises that human beings make mistakes every day knowingly or unknowingly and  hence sets aside time for asking all beings to forgive their mistakes. This is the beauty of the Indic tradition!
