Jain Vrat Timings
Here the day calculated from sunrise to next sunrise is divided into
eight equal parts , called Prahar. They will be 4 Prahars during day time
and four Prahars during Night time.
Navkarsi :- Breaking of fast , Jains stop having any food after sunset,
ie they fast from sunset onwards.
Navkarsi is the time next day when they can break the fast.
Navkarsi = Sunrise time + 48 Minutes (2 Ghatis)
Porsi :- End of First Prahar. Fasting till porsi is more benifical than upto
navkarsi
Satporsi :- One & half prahar after sunrise.
Purimudh :- Is the end of second Prahar.
