Easy to understand Jain calendar

This calendar was sent to me recently.

I am sharing it because it’s really useful and easy to understand.

The calendar shows the following: –

• when Jains avoid eating root vegetables
• when Jains avoid eating green vegetables
• when there’s a Jain festival
• when it’s an auspicious day
• when the tithis are i.e. Aatham, Chaudas, Pancham, Bij and Agiyaras

I thought that it might be useful for: –

• those of you who ‘follow’ these dates
• for those who are interested in understanding what’s happening and when and
• for those of you who know others who incorporate these dates into their daily life i.e. it might help you pre-empt when it’s possible to meet up, eat out etc.

Here’s a bit of information about Jainism
