Summary (in simple terms):

• Das Lakshan (Dash Lakshana) period: many Jains observe restraint on eating after sunset.
• General rule: strict practice is no food after sunset. Some follow a lighter form (only boiled water) or restrict to one meal before sunset.
• Digambar vs Shvetambar:

- Digambar tradition often stays stricter: chovihar or tivihar/duvihar patterns mean no food after sunset; sometimes only boiled water is allowed, until the next day. - Shvetambar tradition also emphasizes eating before sunset and avoiding food after sunset, with variations in how strictly water or medicines are allowed after sunset.

• The key idea is ahimsa and atmashuddhi: reduce violence to life forms in the food and align with self-control during the ritual of Das Lakshan/Paryushan.
• Always follow the guidance of your guru/acharya and your own pachchakkhān (vow) as taught at your derāśar or upāshray.

What to do in practice (simple menu ideas before sunset):

• Have a light, sattvic meal before sunset: plain rice or chapati with moong dal or a simple vegetable (no roots like potato, and no onion/garlic if that is your vow).
• After sunset, many avoid food entirely; if allowed by your vow, you may drink boiled water only.
