In Jainism, honey should not be used in Panchamrit.

Traditionally, Panchamrit is a mix of five items:

• Milk
• Curd (yogurt)
• Ghee
• Sugar
• Honey

But according to Jain principles of ahimsa (non‑violence):

• Honey is strictly avoided because obtaining honey involves great violence to countless tiny living beings (bees and micro‑organisms).
• Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions consider honey unacceptable for use or consumption.
• Therefore, many Jain temples and families either:

- Do Jal‑abhishek only (pure water), or - Make a modified “Panchamrit” without honey, replacing it with something else or simply using fewer ingredients.

So, if the ritual is being done strictly according to Jain maryādā (discipline), honey should not be used in Panchamrit.
