Parwanaya

Parwanaya (Classical Mandaic: ࡐࡀࡓࡅࡀࡍࡀࡉࡉࡀ, romanized: Paruanaiia; Arabic: البرونايا) or Panja (from Persian 'five') is a 5-day religious festival in the Mandaean calendar. The 5 epagomenals (extra days) inserted at the end of every Šumbulta (the 8th month) constitute the Parwanaya intercalary feast. The festival celebrates the five days that Hayyi Rabbi created the angels and the universe.
