India’s timezone & time reference
Jain daily rituals include Dev Vandan (morning worship), Samayik (equanimity practice), and Pratikraman (repentance ritual performed at dawn and dusk). These times are aligned to sunrise and sunset at your location.
Pratikraman is a Jain ritual of repentance and self-reflection. It is performed twice daily — at dawn (Raai Pratikraman) and at dusk (Devsi Pratikraman) — and involves recitation of specific sutras.
Samayik lasts exactly 48 minutes (one muhurta). During this time, the practitioner takes a vow to abstain from harmful activities and focusses on equanimity.
Yes. Dev Vandan is a morning worship prayer addressed to the Tirthankaras, while Pratikraman includes repentance for transgressions committed since the last practice.
Dev Vandan = sunrise to sunrise + 48 min. Samayik = any 48-minute window during daylight (shown near sunrise). Pratikraman dawn = sunrise − 30 min to sunrise + 30 min. Pratikraman dusk = sunset − 30 min to sunset + 30 min.
