Jamara is Barley Sprouts. You can buy Barley in Indian stores or any other grocery stores. Look into the soup section of the grocery stores or you can ask any of the associates.

 jamara is not just jau, it can be jau, gahu, dhaan, makai or any combination of these grains. but people generally prefer jau because it's offered to bishnu.

 Thanks jantarei for the info, i didn't know that. Was not aware of that info, i thought Jamara is only made from Jau. Thanks :-)
