Explanation:

Jains celebrate many annual festivals. Many of the major festivals in Jainism fall in and around the comasu period of the calendar. It is the four month monsoon period when the Jain ascetics are mandated to remain in residence at one place in the Jain tradition, rather than be traveling or going around Indian villages and towns and never staying in one place for more than a month. The comasu period allows the four orders of the Jain community to be together and participate in the festive remembrances. On Diwali morning, Nirvan Ladoo is offered after praying to Mahavira in all Jain temples across the world. The Jain new year starts right after Diwali.
