For this year (2026), Varshitap is starting on:

Chaitra Shukla Ashtami of the Jain/Vikram Samvat calendar. In the English (Gregorian) calendar, that corresponds to Thursday, 2 April 2026 (date as per common Jain Panchang calculations used in 2026).

Traditionally:

• Varshitap always begins on Chaitra Shukla 8,
• and Parna (ending) is done on Vaishakh Shukla 3 (Akshaya Tritiya).

Different sanghs sometimes follow slightly different local Panchang or country-specific time zones, so it is best to confirm once with your local Jain temple or guru for the exact civil date they are keeping.
