Answer

In Jain tradition, many people avoid mangoes after the beginning of Ādrā Nakshatra, because this period is associated with increased moisture, rains, and higher chances of living organisms developing in fruits.

So the common rule is:

• Eat mangoes before Ādrā Nakshatra begins.
• Stop eating mangoes once Ādrā Nakshatra starts.

You generally do not start eating mango after Ādrā Nakshatra; rather, Ādrā is treated as the point after which mangoes are avoided.

Explanation

In Jain food discipline, the concern is Ahimsa. During rainy and humid conditions, fruits can more easily develop tiny life forms or organisms. Because mangoes are seasonal and become more prone to such issues around this time, many Jain families traditionally stop eating them from Ādrā Nakshatra onward.

Exact observance may differ by family, region, and Jain tradition, so it is best to follow your family custom or ask your local Jain guru, upāśray, or temple authority for the exact date followed in your area.

Takeaway

From a Jain perspective, Ādrā Nakshatra is commonly considered the time to stop eating mangoes, not to start.
