Draft my varshi tap calendar
To draft a proper Varshi Tap calendar for you, I need a few details. Varshi Tap can vary slightly by method and dates, so let’s fix those first.
Please reply with:
- Start date
- On which exact date will you start Varshi Tap? (e.g., 14 March 2026) - On that first day, are you doing upvās or ekāsan?
- Pattern / Method
Common way: - One day upvās, next day beyāsan / ekāsan, then upvās again, and so on (alternating for 1 year). Please confirm: - Are you doing standard Varshi Tap (alternate fast and eat)? - On bhojan days: ekāsan or beyāsan?
- Tradition for counting 1 year
- Do you want to complete on exactly 365 days from the start? - Or do you want to end on a specific tithi/festival (e.g., Mahavir Jayanti / Akshay Tritiya etc.)?
- Location (city & country)
- This helps if you want us to mention approximate parnā time by sunrise / sunset of your place.
- Any fixed “no-upvās” days?
- Example: “On office travel days I will not do upvās”, or “On such-and-such date there is a family function.”
- PARNĀ details
- Do you want: - Normal parnā (any Jain bhojan) - Or special parnā (e.g., only boiled water & simple food, or only at sadhu-sadhviji’s ājñā, etc.)?

Once you send these details, I will:
- Lay out a clear calendar with:
If you want, I can also add a simple daily niyam section (e.g., minimum pratikraman, jaap, svādhyāy) at the top of the calendar.
