Published: May 04 2025, 2 pmeznews.inA three-year-old girl, Viyana Jain, died in Indore after being administered the Jain ritual of _Santhara_, a voluntary fasting unto death, with her parents' consent. Viyana, diagnosed with a brain tumor last December, underwent surgery and treatment but ultimately the family sought spiritual guidance. During a visit to Jain monk Rajesh Muni Maharaj on March 21, she took the _Santhara_ vow and died shortly thereafter. This ancient practice, which involves abstaining from food and water, is intended for individuals facing extreme conditions like incurable illness or old age, according to Jain scriptures. While _Santhara_ is a revered tradition, it has faced legal scrutiny; a 2015 Rajasthan High Court ruling deemed it illegal, equating it to suicide. However, following protests from the Jain community, the Supreme Court later allowed the practice to continue under the umbrella of religious freedom.
