In rare feat, 16-yr-old Jain girl completes 110-day fast

A 16-year-old girl in Mumbai, India, has completed a 110-day fast, an unusual achievement for someone her age with no prior experience of long-term fasting. Krisha Shah began her fast on July 11, consuming only boiled water between 9 am and 6.30 pm. She extended her fast from the initial 16 days to 110 days, surprising her family and gurus. Krisha's achievement has been hailed as an example of self-control and discipline. She lost around 18 kilograms during the three months and received blessings from revered Jain leaders during a grand celebration.
