    Answer

    If you have taken Tivihar today, then after evening Pratikraman, you should generally not drink water until the next morning, because Tivihar means giving up all food and water after sunset.

    Explanation

    In Jain practice:

    • Chauvihar means no food and no water after sunset.
    • Tivihar usually means no food after sunset, but water may be allowed only up to a certain permitted time depending on the vow/tradition.

    However, many people use the word “Tivihar” differently in daily practice. So the correct answer depends on the exact vow you took:

    • If you took Tivihar after sunset, then you should not drink water after that time.
    • If your family/guru tradition allows water in Tivihar until a specific time, then you may drink water only within that permitted time.
    • After Pratikraman, if the permitted time has already passed, then you should not drink water.

    Spiritual Understanding

    The purpose of Tivihar is to increase restraint, reduce attachment to the body, and avoid harming subtle living beings especially at night.

    Takeaway

    Please follow the exact rule according to the vow you took and your guru/family tradition. If unsure, it is best to avoid drinking water after Pratikraman and confirm with your guru or elder for future practice.
