इस सामग्री के बारे में
जैन पर्वों और पर्व तिथियों की तिथियाँ Vedic Tithi इंजन द्वारा आपके स्थान पर सूर्योदय की तिथि (उदया तिथि) से गणना की जाती हैं; पर्युषण और संवत्सरी भारत की तिथि पर ही मनाए जाते हैं। हमारे स्वचालित परीक्षण इन तिथियों की तुलना नई दिल्ली, न्यूयॉर्क और वैंकूवर के लिए एक प्रमुख प्रकाशित पंचांग से करते हैं। गच्छों और संघों में कभी-कभी एक दिन का अंतर होता है, इसलिए जहाँ भिन्न हो, अपने संघ की घोषणा का पालन करें। यदि आपको कोई त्रुटि दिखे, तो हमें बताएँ, हम उसे सुधारेंगे।
