🪔 Das Lakshana Parva 2025: A 10-Day Journey of Virtue & Vegetarian Purity
Das Lakshana Parva 2025: Dining in Alignment with Jain Virtues
As Paryushan concludes, the Digambara Jain community begins Das Lakshana Parva, a powerful 10-day spiritual journey that celebrates ten core virtues of Jainism — from forgiveness and humility to truth and renunciation.
And just like these ten values shape your actions, they can also guide the choices you make in your kitchen and home. At BlackCarrot, we honour this time by creating products that are pure, conscious, and fully vegetarian — both in form and philosophy.
🌱 The Jain Way of Dining: Clean, Compassionate, and Minimal
During Das Lakshana Parva, Jains often observe strict vegetarianism, fasting, and satvik meals. What’s served is important — but what it’s served on matters just as much.
Here’s how BlackCarrot dinnerware and cutlery align with Jain values:
- ✅ Bone Ash-Free Ceramics: 100% vegetarian — no hidden animal by-products
