Answer

Yes, generally charoli (chironji) can be eaten in Ekashana, if it is prepared according to Jain food rules and your personal/sect/family niyam.

Explanation

In Ekashana, the main rule is that food is taken only once in the day, within the proper time and limits. Charoli is a type of dry seed/nut, so it is not automatically prohibited like root vegetables.

However, you should ensure:

• It is clean and properly checked.
• It is not mixed with prohibited items.
• It is not stale or unsuitable according to your niyam.
• If you are observing a stricter tapasya, follow the rules given by your guru, family tradition, or sangh.

Spiritual Understanding

The purpose of Ekashana is restraint, simplicity, and reduction of attachment to taste. So even if charoli is allowed, it should be taken with moderation and awareness.

Takeaway

You may eat charoli in Ekashana, unless your specific niyam or tradition restricts it. For strict observance, confirm with your guru or local Jain authority.
