For Varshi Tap (Varshitap) the exact calendar always depends on:

• The local Jain Panchāng (lunar calendar used in your area)
• Your starting day (usually Akṣay Tritiyā)
• Guidance of your guru / vyākhyān-kār

Because Panchāng and even Akṣay Tritiyā dates differ from website to website and country to country, I cannot give you a precise day‑by‑day Varshitap calendar that is guaranteed correct for your location. That must be taken from your local Jain calendar or guru only.

Still, here is the basic framework for 2026–2027 (India‑based, general guideline):

1. Usual start of Varshitap

- Traditionally: Akṣay Tritiyā of Vaiśākh Śukla Tritiyā. - For most Indian Panchāngs, Akṣay Tritiyā in 2026 falls on Sunday, 19 April 2026 (check your local Jain Panchāng to confirm).

1. Usual end of Varshitap

- Completed on next year’s Akṣay Tritiyā in 2027 (many Panchāngs show this in early–mid May 2027; again, confirm exact date locally).

1. How to create your own Varshitap calendar

- Take your start date (for example, 19 April 2026, if that is Akṣay Tritiyā as per your Jain Panchāng). - Mark alternate days as: - Tap day – complete fast or as per your niyam - Nontap day – taking food/water as per niyam - Continue this alternate‑day pattern until Akṣay Tritiyā 2027. - On the final day (Varshi‑paryushan / Akṣay Tritiyā 2027) do: - Pañchāmṛt / jal abhiṣek of Bhagwān Ṛṣabhdev - Pāṭha, stavans, dān, pratikramaṇ, and parṇā (proper fast‑breaking) as guided by your guru.

1. Very important

- Please do not rely only on online dates for such a big tapa. - Take a printed Jain Panchāng for 2026–2027 of your gacch/sampradāy, or ask your local upāśray/derāsar: - “Akṣay Tritiyā 2026 (Vaiśākh Śukla Tritiyā) kaun se din hai?” - “Akṣay Tritiyā 2027 kaun se din hai?” - Then make an Excel sheet or diary and mark all alternate days between those two dates.
