Answer

In general, amla can be eaten during Paryushan only if it fits the dietary rules you are personally following.

But many Jains avoid certain fruits, raw foods, green vegetables, or specific items during Paryushan depending on their tradition, family maryada, temple guidance, or personal vow.

Explanation

Amla is a fruit. Whether it is allowed depends on questions such as:

• Are you observing normal Jain food rules only?
• Are you avoiding raw fruits during Paryushan?
• Are you doing any tapasya such as ekasana, beasana, upvas, ayambil, or specific pachchakhān?
• Does your family or sangh follow a rule of avoiding amla during these days?

If you have taken a specific vow or pachchakhān, then you should follow that vow strictly.

Spiritual Understanding

Paryushan is a time for reducing attachment to taste, practicing restraint, and increasing awareness of ahimsa. So the main question is not only “Is amla allowed?” but also “Does eating it support my restraint and spiritual practice?”

Takeaway

If your Paryushan rule allows fruits, then amla may be acceptable. If you are unsure, follow your family/sangh tradition or ask your guru, sadhu-sadhviji, or knowledgeable Jain elder.
