Panhar Panchkhan (Panahara Upvas Pachkhan) is a specific Pachkhan (vow) in Jain fasting practice.

• What it means: Panhar means abstaining from taking any food or liquids after sunset until the sunrise next day. This Pachkhan is taken when a performer has already done Tivihar Upvas, Ayambil, Nivi, Ekasanu, or Biyasanu, and then follows the Panhar restriction for that day. In short: no food or drink after sunset, until the next sunrise.

• How it is observed: The person who takes Panhar decides the next day’s break time as part of the Pachkhan, and typically recites Navkar three times with a folded fist before resuming eating or drinking. The practice is one of several Pachkahans used to structure fasting and meals during Jain observances.

• Note on tradition: Panhar Pachkhan is practiced across Jain communities and is described in various Jain texts and community resources. The core idea—no food or drink after sunset until sunrise—remains consistent in both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions, though the exact phrasing and accompanying procedures can vary by local practice.
