Answer

In TiVihar, you may have water after taking Pachchakkhan, but you should not eat food.

TiVihar means giving up three types of food intake:

• Ashan – solid food
• Khadim – dry/eatable items like snacks, fruits, etc.
• Swadim – taste-based items, mouth fresheners, etc.

But Paan — water — is allowed.

Explanation

If you have taken TiVihar Pachchakkhan, then after that:

• You should not eat any food.
• You should not take snacks, fruits, sweets, mukhwas, or taste-items.
• You may drink properly filtered/boiled water, according to your tradition and household practice.

Usually, water is taken only during the permitted time of the day, and not after sunset, depending on the specific Pachchakkhan and tradition followed.

Spiritual Understanding

TiVihar is a form of restraint where one reduces bodily dependence and strengthens self-control. Keeping water allowed makes the vow more practical while still maintaining discipline over food and taste.

Takeaway

During TiVihar, food is not allowed, but water is allowed—as per the time and rules of the Pachchakkhan you have taken.
