Parwanaya (Classical Mandaic: ࡐࡀࡓࡅࡀࡍࡀࡉࡉࡀ, romanized: Paruanaiia; Arabic: البرونايا) or Panja (Mandaic: ࡐࡀࡍࡔࡀ Panša, 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.[1] The festival celebrates the five days that Hayyi Rabbi created the angels and the universe.[2]
