Chauviyaar (also spelled Chauvihar) in Jainism refers to the time after which one must stop eating and drinking for the day, typically observed by laypersons and monks as part of their vow of fasting after sunset. The exact time depends on the local sunset time.

To determine Chauviyaar time in Houston today, you need to find today’s sunset time for Houston, Texas, and observe Chauviyaar 48 minutes before sunset, as per traditional Jain practice.

For example, if sunset in Houston today is at 8:25 PM, then Chauviyaar time would be: 8:25 PM - 48 minutes = 7:37 PM

You are encouraged to check today’s local sunset time using a reliable source (like a weather website or app), and subtract 48 minutes to get the Chauviyaar time.

For the most accurate time and to follow your sect’s specific traditions, consult your local Jain temple or panchang.
