Answer

For people doing Atthai Tap, Parna is usually done on the morning after completing the 8-day fast, at the proper Parna time decided according to the Jain calendar and local sunrise.

Explanation

The exact Parna time is not the same everywhere. It depends on:

• Your location
• Sunrise time
• The specific tithi and Jain calendar rules
• Your Jain tradition and guidance from your Guru, Maharaj Saheb, Sadhviji, or local Sangh

In practice, Atthai Parna is generally performed in the morning, but you should confirm the exact time from your local Jain Sangh or Guru Bhagwant.

Spiritual Understanding

Parna is not simply “eating after fasting.” In Jain Dharma, it is a respectful completion of tapasya with humility, awareness, and devotion. It should be done at the proper time and in the proper manner.

Takeaway

Atthai Parna usually happens the next morning after the 8-day fast, but the exact Parna time must be confirmed locally according to your place and Jain calendar.
