navkarsi timings chennai

Navkarsi is the Jain practice of having the first meal after sunrise, typically about 48 minutes to 1 hour after sunrise. The exact time depends on the local sunrise that day and the sangh's tradition. In Chennai, timings vary by temple, but the general pattern is:

• Start of temple darshan in the morning often around early hours, and Navkarsi follows after sunrise by roughly 45–60 minutes. Some local temples list morning darshan as 5:30 AM to 11:30 AM or similar, with the Navkarsi window falling in that morning period. For example, a Chennai temple page notes morning timings as 5:30 AM–11:30 AM and evening timings later in the day. You can read more about that temple’s timings here .
