Start date of varshitap
Varshitap every year starts on the tithi:
फाल्गुन वद अष्टमी (Fagan/Falgun Vad Aatham) = Falgun Krishna Ashtami (8th day of the dark half of Falgun)
In some calendars this same tithi is written as Chaitra Krishna Ashtami, but the Jain rule is: Varshitap Arambh = Falgun Vad Aatham and it then concludes on Vaishakh Sud 3 (Akshaya Tritiya) with parna.
The exact English (Gregorian) date changes every year, so you should always confirm it from your local Jain panchang or sangh.
