To tell you the correct Chauvihār (chhaviyaar) time for today (16-02-2026), I need to know your city and country, because it is based on the local sunset time, which changes by place.

General rule in Jain tradition (both Shwetambar & Digambar):

• Chauvihār = Stop taking food (and usually water, depending on vow) 4 ghaḍī (about 1 hour 36 minutes) before local sunset.
• Many practical calendars round this to about 1.5 hours before sunset.

So please reply with your location (e.g., “Mumbai, India” or “London, UK”), and I can then give you the approximate Chauvihār cut-off time for today, 16 February 2026, for your place.
