Why is it an Eternal Festival?

• Das-Lakshan Dharma :The Festival is about 10 Dharmas that

Our Soul has. Our Soul is Eternal. Thus, these Dharmas are Eternal.

After the End of Descending Phase (Avasarpiny Kaal), which is the beginning of Ascending Phase (Utsarpiny Kaal), there happens Rains of various kinds from SHRAVAN KRISHNA PRATIPADA for 7 weeks. Thence, these Ten attributes of Dharmas are celebrated.
