Dates follow the udaya tithi (the tithi at sunrise), as Jain panchangs do. Gachchhas and sanghs sometimes differ by a day; follow your own sangh's announcement where it differs.
The three Chaumasi Pratikramans
Shwetambar Jains perform Pratikraman daily (Devsi and Raisi), every fortnight on Chaudas (Pakkhi), every four months (Chaumasi) and once a year on Samvatsari. Chaumasi Pratikraman confesses the faults of the past four months.
Ashadha Chaumasi Chaudas begins Chaturmas, when monks and nuns stop travelling for the rainy season; Kartika Chaumasi Chaudas ends it.
