Today is August 24, 2025. According to Jain Dharma, lay followers should complete all eating (and, if observing tivihar/chovihar, drinking too) before your local sunset. Monks and nuns are stricter and eat only in daylight, typically before noon.

Practical guidance:

• Finish your meal and water a little before local sunset today.
• If you have taken Tivihar/Chovihar pachkhan, avoid food and water after sunset; otherwise, at minimum, avoid food after sunset.
• Use filtered/boiled water and keep a small buffer before sunset, especially during Paryushan/Chaturmas.
• Health exceptions are allowed as per pachkhan and with right intent.

For simple explanations of these vows:

• Chovihar (no food, water, etc. after sunset)
• Tivihar (no food, water, medicine after sunset)
