Answer

In Jain practice, during Tivihar, water may be taken only up to the allowed time before nightfall, according to the rule being followed in your tradition or local sangh.

Generally:

• Tivihar Upvas / Tivihar fasting means no food is taken, but boiled water may be taken during the permitted daytime period.
• Water is usually stopped before sunset, often according to the locally announced Chauvihar / Pani tyag time.

Explanation

The exact time is not the same every day because it depends on:

• Local sunset time
• The rule followed by your Jain tradition
• The timing announced by your temple, upashray, or sangh
• Whether you are following Tivihar casually, during Upvas, Ayambil, Paryushan, or another tapasya

So the safest answer is: take water only until the time prescribed by your local Jain sangh or guru bhagwant for that day.

Spiritual Understanding

Tivihar is a disciplined vow that reduces attachment to food and taste while still allowing water within limits. Stopping water at the proper time helps maintain the purity of the vow and supports self-control.

Takeaway

For Tivihar, water should be taken only during the permitted daytime period and stopped before the prescribed evening cutoff time. For the exact time, follow your local sangh’s daily Pachakkhan / Pani timing.
