Aaso Maas Navpadji Oli

As per Jainism, Navpadji Oli is considered as Shashwati Parva. It means the Navpadji Oli festival exists in all time cycles (past, present, and future).

During these nine days, one should do Aayambil - which means - Eat once a day in one sitting- a simple spice-free food, boiled or cooked without milk, curd, ghee, oil, green/raw vegetables, fruits, dry fruits and sugar.

Let us all join together to celebrate the most auspicious Gyan Parva during the festive days of Navpadji Oli.
