Can I eat out at a regular restaurant during Paryushan?
Paryushan is coming up and I follow strict Jain dietary rules — no onion, no garlic, no root vegetables, no eating after sunset. Is it safe to eat at regular restaurants, or should I stick to Jain-certified places only?

During Paryushan, be extra cautious. Even if a restaurant says they'll make it without onion/garlic, cross-contamination from the same pan/oil is common. Best options: (1) Stick to Jain-certified restaurants, (2) Carry home-cooked food, (3) If eating out, choose pure Jain or Vaishnav restaurants that have dedicated cooking equipment. Many restaurants in Gujarat and Mumbai advertise full Jain menus during Paryushan.
