    is orange allowed

    12 months ago 118

    If you mean the fruit “orange”

    • Yes, oranges (the citrus fruit) are generally allowed in a Jain diet.
    • Eat fresh, well‑washed fruit, check for insects, and avoid cutting/storing for long.
    • Avoid eating at night; if taking juice, strain it and have it only in daylight.
    • During Paryushan/strict vows, some follow stricter rules and may avoid sour fruits; follow your declared vrata and local updesh.

    If you meant “orange” as a color for clothes

    • Jain monks do not wear saffron/orange robes (Śvetāmbara wear white; Digambara are sky‑clad).
    • Lay Jains may wear any simple, modest color, including orange.

    If you meant “orange vegetables” like carrot

    • Carrot is a root vegetable and is traditionally avoided by Jains (year‑round by stricter followers, and at least during Paryushan by many).
