In short
Micchami Dukkadam means “may all the harm I have caused be fruitless” — the forgiveness said on Samvatsari (15 September) by Shwetambar Jains, and on Kshamavani (25 September) by Digambar Jains. This free maker puts it on a card with their name, in three languages.
Tip: make one card per person — a card with their name on it gets kept, not skipped.
Seek forgiveness, beautifully
Micchami Dukkadam — “may all the harm I have caused be fruitless” — is the heart of Samvatsari and Kshamavani. This maker gives that bhaav a personal form: their name, your language, your design. Free to download and share.
Shwetambar Samvatsari falls on 15 September and Digambar Kshamavani on 25 September this year — make your cards before the day.
