    Make varshi tap calender for year 2026 2027 for gujarat location

    6 months ago 101

    For an exact Varshi Tap calendar (day‑by‑day) for 2026–2027 in Gujarat, you will need a local Jain panchang. I’ll explain why, and how you can create it correctly.

    1. Why I cannot give an exact ready‑made calendar

    A proper Varshi Tap calendar depends on:

    1. Tithi & lunar month (not just English dates)
    2. Exact sunrise time at your city (Ahmedabad/Surat/Rajkot, etc.)
    3. Local Jain maryādā (small rules differ from sangh to sangh)

    Those details come from a Gujarati Jain panchang (printed or app), which I cannot reliably read and calculate for each city and each day here. If I “guess” the dates, it can be wrong – and for a big tap like Varshi Tap, that is not acceptable.

    2. Basic idea of Varshi Tap (for clarity)

    • Common Śvetāmbar practice:
    Alternate‑day upvās (fasting) for about 13 lunar months + 13 days, usually ending on Akshaya Tritiya with parnā (often sugarcane juice).
    • Many follow pattern:
    - Day 1 – Upvās (full fast) - Day 2 – Beshan/Ekāsan (eating day) - Day 3 – Upvās - Day 4 – Eating day - … and so on, till completion.

    You can read a simple explanation of Varshi Tap here:

    3. How to make a correct Varshi Tap calendar for 2026–2027 (Gujarat)

    Use this method with your local Jain panchang (or Jain calendar app for Gujarat):

    1. Fix your end date with Guru‑guidance

    - Most commonly: decide to finish on Akshaya Tritiya of the year (e.g., Akshaya Tritiya in 2027) as per your Gujarati Jain panchang for Gujarat. - Ask your local sadhu/sādhvī or Jain guru which Akshaya Tritiya and which maryādā you should follow.

    1. Count backwards ~13 lunar months + 13 days

    - From that Akshaya Tritiya, count backwards through the panchang about 1 year + 13 days (tithi‑wise). - That becomes your start date (Pahlo Upvās).

    1. Mark alternate days

    - From that start date, mark every alternate sunrise as: - Upvās day (fast) - Next sunrise = eating day - Next = Upvās, and so on. - Do this continuously till the Akshaya Tritiya parnā day.

    1. Adjust for local sunrise & rules

    - Check sunrise time for your exact city in Gujarat (Ahmedabad / Surat / Vadodara etc.). - Upvās and parnā are usually counted sunrise‑to‑sunrise as per local time. - Follow your sangh’s rule (for example: - Whether water is allowed after sunset, - Whether eating day is ekāsan or beshan, - Any special rules on Paryushan, Mahavir Jayanti, etc.)

    1. Get it checked once

    - After you or a family member prepare the rough calendar: - Show it to your local Jain monk/nun or panchang‑knowledgeable person in your Upāshray/Derāsar. - Ask them to confirm: “Varshi Tap ni tithi ane parnā barābar chhe ke nai?” - Once approved, you can neatly write/print your Varshi Tap 2026–2027 calendar and keep it with your pachchakkhān.

    ---

    4. Simple practical suggestion

    • Take a Gujarati Jain panchang for 2026–2027 for your city.
    • Sit with:
    - A calendar, - A pen & notebook, - And if possible, a knowledgeable elder or guru.
    • Fix:
    - End: Akshaya Tritiya parnā (2027) - Start: about 13 lunar months + 13 days before
    • Mark all Upvās and eating days in one table.

    This is the safest and most dharmic way. For such a mahatap, always keep shuddhi (purity) and guru‑maryādā above convenience.
