Share Varshitapa Calender for Year 2026-26
For the Varshitap that does Parna in 2026, the main fixed point is:
- Varshitap Parna (Akshaya Tritiya) –
Many Gujarati/Śvetāmbara sanghs are following this pattern:
- Start of visible Varshitap period in 2026:
- End / Parna:
During this phase, the simple alternate‑day pattern is:
- “Upvās” (full fast) on the first day – 10 March 2026
- Then every alternate day Upvās / Biyāsan, like:

This is the basic Varshitap calendar (2026 phase) that many use: alternate‑day fasting from 10 March 2026 up to 19 April 2026, and Parna on 20 April 2026.
Important note
- Exact dates can shift slightly by desh / pāñchang (local Jain calendar) and also sometimes by tradition (Digambar / Śvetāmbara, different gacch).
- Before starting, always confirm once with your local Jain panchāng, upāshray/derāsar, or your guru so that your tithi and Parna are 100% correct.
