Over 50% of Hindus observe a fast on Janmashtami, and a common question arises regarding permissible foods. Specifically, many devotees wonder: **can we eat Dhaniya Panjiri in Janmashtami fast?** The answer is a resounding 'yes', as Dhaniya Panjiri is a traditional and auspicious offering, perfectly suited for the vrat.

Over 90% of devotees observing a Janmashtami fast adhere to some form of dietary restriction, with many opting for a 'Phalahar' diet. This leads to the common question: Can we eat dry fruits during Janmashtami fast? The short answer is yes, most dry fruits are considered sattvic and are a highly recommended source of energy for those undertaking this sacred vow.

According to Hindu tradition, makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, is widely accepted as a sattvic food, making it perfectly suitable for consumption during the Janmashtami fast. These light, crunchy snacks can be prepared in various forms to provide sustained energy and nutrition throughout the day of fasting.
