Meaning of Vighai
In Jainism, Vighai / Vigai means vikṛti — foods or items that are considered stimulating, indulgent, or disturbing to restraint.
In practice, it often refers to things like:
- milk
- curd
- ghee
- oil
- jaggery
- sugar
- honey
Vighai-tyag means giving up these items as a vow of self-discipline and ahimsa.
