    When can I have water in tivihar eating

    2 hrs ago 3

    Answer

    In Tivihar, you may have water only after sunrise and before sunset.

    You should not drink water after sunset.

    Explanation

    In Jain practice:

    • Chovihar means no food and no water after sunset.
    • Tivihar means no food after sunset, but water is allowed only during the permitted daytime period.

    So if you are doing Tivihar, you may drink boiled and properly filtered water during the day, generally:

    • After sunrise
    • Before sunset

    After sunset, even water is avoided.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Tivihar helps reduce harm to living beings and builds discipline over taste, habit, and bodily dependence. Avoiding food at night is connected with Jain principles of Ahimsa, Sanyam, and careful living.

    Takeaway

    In Tivihar, drink water only in the daytime, before sunset; after sunset, avoid food and water.
