Answer

For Paryushan, whether mango pickle is allowed depends on your tradition and the ingredients/preparation, not only on the fact that the shopkeeper is Jain.

In general, mango pickle may be avoided during Paryushan because:

• It is often fermented/aged for many days.
• It may contain ingredients not accepted in your Paryushan rules.
• Many families follow stricter purity during Paryushan and avoid pickles, stored items, and processed foods.

So, if you are following strict Paryushan discipline, it is safer to avoid the pickle and eat simple fresh food with chapati.

Explanation

In Jain Dharma, especially during Paryushan, the focus is on:

• Ahimsa — minimizing harm to living beings
• Saiyam — self-control
• Tap — austerity
• Simple and pure food

Even if the pickle is bought from a Digambar Jain shop, you should check:

• Does it contain garlic, onion, or root ingredients?
• Is it freshly made or old/fermented?
• Was it prepared according to Jain Paryushan rules?
• Does your family/guru tradition allow pickles during Paryushan?

If there is doubt, Jain practice generally favors avoiding doubtful food, especially during sacred days.

Spiritual Understanding

Paryushan is not only about whether something is technically allowed, but about increasing inner purity and restraint. Avoiding tasty, spicy, stored foods like pickle can also support the spirit of renunciation and discipline.

Takeaway

If you are unsure, it is better to not eat mango pickle during Paryushan. Choose simple fresh food, and if possible, ask your family elder, local Jain scholar, or guru according to your specific tradition.
