During paryushan pani no kaal
3
Answer
During Paryushan, the usual Jain rule for pani no kaal is:
- Drink water only during daylight
- Do not drink water after sunset
- Water should be boiled and properly cooled
- Boiled water is generally used only within its accepted time limit according to one’s tradition
Explanation
In Jain practice, especially during Paryushan, many people follow stricter discipline regarding food and water.
Pani no kaal means the proper time period in which water may be consumed. Traditionally, water is taken only after sunrise and before sunset, because night consumption increases the chance of harming minute living beings.
Different Jain traditions and families may follow slightly different rules about the exact timing and how long boiled water remains acceptable.
Takeaway
For Paryushan, the safest general rule is: boiled water during the day only, not after sunset. For exact timing, follow your guru bhagwant, upashray, or family tradition.
