While the streets wore a deserted look on Thursday due to a nationwide bandh, it did not affect Jain families across the city who reveled in elaborate celebrations to mark the end of fasting. The ritual of consuming sugar water or lime water after eight days of fast during Paryushan is called paarna.
Upashrays across the city witnessed large gatherings of hundreds of devotees who were on a fast for more than two days. Muni Siddhachandra Vijay Maharaj of Dharnidhar derasar said, “The response of the devotees was very enthusiastic. Forty-five devotees observed fast on all the eight days of Paryushan and came to the derasar in the morning for paarna.”
After the ceremony, it was announced that the derasar will carry out a grand rath yatra on September 30. Similarly, the Rang Sagar Sangh of Paldi will carry out a rath yatra on September 22. Vishok Shah, a member of the Sangh informed, “The rath yatra will start from Rang Sagar Upashray at 7.30 am and we will travel in Paldi with elephants, horses and music bands.”
Prachi,11, meanwhile has completed a 16-day fast. “The first food she had was water after boiling green gram. It was a joyous moment for us and we invited all our relatives for it,” said her father, Vinod Shah.
