Jainism ke anusar, "Choviyar" ka arth hai—chaar cheezen (anna, paani, doodh, dahi) ka tyag, yaani inka sevan band karna. Sadharan roop se, choviyar suryast se thoda pehle hota hai. Jain achar, maryada aur pachang ke hisab se, choviyar ka samay har din badal sakta hai kyunki suryast ka samay badalta hai.

20 August ko aap kis shehar ya jagah par hain, us par bhi suryast ka samay depend karega. Lekin vyavaharik roop se, adhiktar Jain samaj suryast se 48 minute pehle tak paani peena band kar dete hain. Iske baad kuch bhi nahi peete.

Sankshipt mein: 20 August ko, jis samay aapke shehar mein suryast ho, usse 48 minute pehle tak paani pi sakte hain. Uske baad choviyar ho jayega, aur paani peena band kar dena chahiye.

Yathashakti, apne local Jain calendar ya mandir se bhi samay ki pushti kar sakte hain.
