Simple rule of Ayambil

Ayambil is generally taken as:

• one meal only
• without taste-inducing items
• without oil, ghee, milk, curd, sugar, jaggery, and spices
• very simple and plain food

Important note

Ayambil rules can vary slightly by sect, tradition, and local sangh guidance. For exact observance, follow your guru, upashray, or local Jain sangh.
