    please give me jain varshitap calander start from 11-3-2026

    6 months ago 127

    I am taking your date as 11‑03‑2026 = 11 March 2026 (Wednesday) and as the first Upvās (fasting) day of Varshitap.

    1. Basic rule of Varshitap calendar

    • Day 1 (11‑03‑2026) = Upvās
    • Then it is exactly alternate days:
    - Upvās – Bhojan – Upvās – Bhojan – Upvās – Bhojan … and so on.

    So, from 11 March 2026 onwards:

    • All odd-numbered days from the start = Upvās
    • All even-numbered days from the start = Bhojan (Parnā)

    This pattern continues till the completion of your Varshitap (your Guru / Panch / Pathshala will tell you exactly till which tithi to continue – usually up to Akshaya Tritiyā of next year).

    2. Calendar for first month (March 2026, starting 11‑03‑2026)

    Here is a simple list from 11 March 2026 to 31 March 2026:

    • 11 Mar (Wed) – Day 1 – Upvās
    • 12 Mar (Thu) – Day 2 – Bhojan
    • 13 Mar (Fri) – Day 3 – Upvās
    • 14 Mar (Sat) – Day 4 – Bhojan
    • 15 Mar (Sun) – Day 5 – Upvās
    • 16 Mar (Mon) – Day 6 – Bhojan
    • 17 Mar (Tue) – Day 7 – Upvās
    • 18 Mar (Wed) – Day 8 – Bhojan
    • 19 Mar (Thu) – Day 9 – Upvās
    • 20 Mar (Fri) – Day 10 – Bhojan
    • 21 Mar (Sat) – Day 11 – Upvās
    • 22 Mar (Sun) – Day 12 – Bhojan
    • 23 Mar (Mon) – Day 13 – Upvās
    • 24 Mar (Tue) – Day 14 – Bhojan
    • 25 Mar (Wed) – Day 15 – Upvās
    • 26 Mar (Thu) – Day 16 – Bhojan
    • 27 Mar (Fri) – Day 17 – Upvās
    • 28 Mar (Sat) – Day 18 – Bhojan
    • 29 Mar (Sun) – Day 19 – Upvās
    • 30 Mar (Mon) – Day 20 – Bhojan
    • 31 Mar (Tue) – Day 21 – Upvās

    3. How to extend this calendar yourself (very easy)

    1. Count 11 March 2026 as Day 1 (Upvās).
    2. Keep a simple running count of days:

    - Day 1 = Upvās - Day 2 = Bhojan - Day 3 = Upvās - Day 4 = Bhojan - … continue till the end date given by your Guru / Panch.

    1. So:

    - Every odd day number = Upvās - Every even day number = Bhojan

    You can write this in a notebook or in Excel/Google Sheet and generate the full year very easily using this rule.

    4. Small spiritual reminder (Jain view)

    • Varshitap is done in remembrance of Bhagwān Ādināth (Rishabhdev), who accepted ikṣu‑ras (ganna ka ras / sugarcane juice) after a very long fast.
    • While doing Varshitap, try to keep:
    - Samyak Darshan – Samyak Jñān – Samyak Chāritra in mind, - Do Sāmāyik, Pratikraman, Swādhyāy, Jāp, as guided by your Guru.

    5. More about Varshitap (simple explanation)

    You can read a short explanation of Varshitap here:

    If you want, I can next give you a month‑by‑month list (April 2026, May 2026, etc.) using the same pattern, but the rule above is already enough to generate the full Varshitap calendar starting from 11‑03‑2026.
