പർവ തിഥി (അഷ്ടമീ ഔര ചൗദസ)

🙏 എന്തിന് ആഘോഷിക്കുന്നു

Ashtami and Chaturdashi of both fortnights are parva tithis. Many Jains keep a fast or ekasana, avoid green vegetables, and do pratikraman or posadh (a day lived like a monk).

📖 ഇതിന് പിന്നിലെ കഥ

The scriptures say these days are especially suited to spiritual effort because the mind is more easily steadied. By setting aside a few days each month for restraint, a householder keeps the habit of tapas alive throughout the year — not only during Paryushan.

🪔 എങ്ങനെ ആഘോഷിക്കാം

• Avoid green vegetables and eating after sunset
• Keep ekasana, biyasana or upvas
• Do samayik or posadh
• Visit the temple for darshan
