Answer

In Jain practice, if a child has taken normal Tivihar for the day, then he should not drink water after sunset.

So the maximum time to drink water is before sunset, ideally a little earlier to avoid any mistake.

Explanation

Tivihar generally means avoiding three types of food intake after the set time:

• Food
• Liquids like milk, juice, etc.
• Water

In common Jain conduct, after sunset one should avoid drinking water, especially when following Tivihar.

If the child is very young or has a health need, the family should act with compassion and consult elders, parents, or a Jain guru/teacher for guidance.

Takeaway

For normal Tivihar, the safe rule is: water should be taken only before sunset, not at night after sunset.
