Short answer: No. Bhindi (okra) is not “niloti” (green leafy/saag). It is an above‑ground pod vegetable.

Jain dietary note:

• Category: Bhindi is beej‑yukt/bijak (it contains many seeds).
• Practice: Generally permitted in daily Jain diet.
• Stricter vows: Those observing beej‑tyag, during Paryushan/Chaturmas, or on certain tithis may avoid it due to the many seeds. This varies by personal vrata and local paramparā in both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions.
