Answer

Yes, in general, dry fruits can be eaten during ekasana, if they are allowed in your family or community’s ekasana rules.

Explanation

Dry fruits like:

• almonds
• cashews
• raisins
• dates
• figs
• pistachios

are usually acceptable in ekasana, because they are not restricted items by themselves.

However, a few things matter:

• They should be eaten in the single sitting allowed in ekasana.
• They should fit your specific Jain tradition or household practice.
• If they are mixed with restricted ingredients, then they may not be suitable.

Spiritual Understanding

Ekasana is meant to develop discipline, restraint, and simplicity. In Jain practice, the exact food rules can vary by tradition, so it is always best to follow your own guru, family custom, or local Jain practice.

Takeaway

Yes, dry fruits are generally allowed in ekasana, but follow the specific rules of your observance.
