is orange allowed during paryushan
Short answer: Yes—eating an orange is generally allowed during Paryushan.
How to do it properly (both traditions agree on these basics):
- Orange is a tree‑fruit (not a root/kand‑mool), so it is permitted.
- Eat fresh, in the daytime, before sunset. Do not store cut fruit overnight.
- Wash well and check for tiny insects.
- Prefer the whole fruit over packaged/processed juice.
Notes by tradition:
- Shvetambar: Many take pachchakkhān to avoid kand‑mool and sometimes “bahu‑bīj” (many‑seeded) items. If you’ve taken such a vow, remove the seeds or choose seedless varieties, or avoid if your pachchakkhān says so.
- Digambar: During upavās/phalāhār, oranges are acceptable under the same rules above. Not for nirjal fasts.
If you are under a specific pachchakkhān from your guru or sangh, follow that first.
