return parent element by querying the child nodes

[ShujaathKhan]

How can we return the parent nodes by querying the child nodes
Here goes the query which I'm trying to implement

$..holidays[].holidays_by_month[].institution_list[?(@.insitution=='inst1')]
which works fine and returns only the child elements what if I want to get the parent elements
which i've tested here http://jsonpath.com/

Here goes JSON Output

[
  {
    "insitution": "MaGE",
    "location": [
      "Bangalore",
      "Chennai",
      "Delhi",
      "Mumbai",
      "Hyderabad",
      "Kolkata"
    ]
  },
  {
    "insitution": "MaGE",
    "location": [
      "Bangalore",
      "Chennai",
      "Delhi",
      "Mumbai",
      "Hyderabad",
      "Kolkata"
    ]
  }
]

Input Json as below

{
  "holidays": [
    {
      "month": "January",
      "month_id": 0,
      "holidays_by_month": [
        {
          "date": "2017-01-01",
          "name": "New Year",
          "institution_list": [
            {
              "insitution": "inst1",
              "location": [
                "Bangalore",
                "Chennai",
                "Delhi",
                "Mumbai",
                "Hyderabad",
                "Kolkata"
              ]
            },
            {
              "insitution": "inst2",
              "location": [
                "Bangalore",
                "Chennai",
                "Delhi",
                "Mumbai",
                "Hyderabad",
                "Kolkata"
              ]
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "date": "2017-01-26",
          "name": "Republic Day",
          "institution_list": [
            {
              "insitution": "inst1",
              "location": [
                "Bangalore",
                "Chennai",
                "Delhi",
                "Mumbai",
                "Hyderabad",
                "Kolkata"
              ]
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
    
  ]
}

I am also stuck trying to do something similar. Here is some JSON:

[ {
"id" : "application_1503554907321_4299",
"name" : "Ingest",
"attempts" : [ {
"startTime" : "2017-09-26T09:19:17.212GMT",
"endTime" : "2017-09-26T09:54:25.588GMT",
"sparkUser" : "test",
"completed" : true
} ]
}]

I would like to extract id, name, attempts[0].startTime, attempts[0].endTime to produce something like:

{
"id" : "application_1503554907321_4299",
"name" : "Ingest",
"startTime" : "2017-09-26T09:19:17.212GMT",
"endTime" : "2017-09-26T09:54:25.588GMT"
}

How can I achieve this?
