Chovihar

Abstaining after sunset from all four kinds of intake — food, water, dried fruit and mouth fresheners. The basic form of the vow against eating at night.

How the time is derived

The meal is finished before sunset and nothing is taken until the following sunrise.

Example — 17:53 at Ladnun on 26 October.

Times are derived from sunrise and sunset using the commonly cited Śvetāmbara reckoning. Confirm against your own panchang or teacher.
