Today's navkarshi time

Navkarsi (Navkarshi) time is not a fixed clock time for everyone. It depends on your local sunrise time. The general rule in Jain practice is:

• Begin the first meal after sunrise, typically about 48 minutes after sunrise. This is the standard Navkarsi window most sanghs follow.
• Exact start and end times can vary by city, temple schedule, and whether your community follows Digambar or Śvetāmbara norms. On special days (Paryushan, etc.) parna windows may be announced separately by your sangh.

So for today, you can determine Navkarsi by: 1) finding today’s local sunrise time in your city, and 2) adding about 48 minutes.

If you’d like, I can give you a precise Navkarsi window for a specific city (e.g., Mumbai, Bangalore, etc.) using the local sunrise time from today’s date. You can read more here and see general guidance about Navkarsi timing .
