@Karu: Now I want Pavbhaji..:)..No, I am not jain, but paryusan is tough..Do you fast??..I used to fast once in a while to support my jain friend...I miss all and since she used to live in Simandar, it made is special....
I do the first and last day ek aasna......the bhukkhad in me doesnt let me fast 😆
Anu - Paryushan is a jain festival where we have restrictions on alot of food items like alotttttt, we have to fast, drink boiled water, eat drink b4 sunset (if not fasting) go to the temple sit for pratikaman (prayers) full day and basically 8 days of hell all to get forgiveness.....last day is called samvatsari where we say "michamidukkadam" to everyone and think of what we are gonna eat tomo! lol
