Answer

Yes, after completing Samvatsari Pratikraman, you may drink water if your fast or vow allows it.

But it depends on what vow you have taken:

• If you are doing Chauvihar Upvas: you should not drink water after sunset.
• If you are doing Tivihar Upvas: you may drink boiled water during the permitted daytime period, but not after sunset.
• If you are not fasting: you may drink water after Pratikraman, as per normal Jain discipline.

Explanation

Samvatsari Pratikraman itself does not automatically forbid drinking water afterward. The restriction comes from the type of vrat, upvas, or pachchakkhan you have taken.

In Jain practice, if you have taken a specific vow such as Chauvihar, then you should follow that vow carefully.

Takeaway

Check what pachchakkhan you took. If it was Chauvihar, do not drink water after sunset. If no such vow was taken, drinking water after Pratikraman is generally allowed.
