For Varshitap, exact day‑by‑day dates always depend on your local Jain panchang (city + sampraday), so there is no single universal “entire schedule” in Gregorian dates that is correct for everyone.

But for Varshitap whose Pārṇā comes on Akṣay Tritiyā in 2026, the framework is as follows:

---

1. Basic 2026 Varshitap framework

According to the Jain lunar calendar, for 2026:

• Sankalp / Start Tithi (for that year’s Varshitap):

- Chaitra Shukla Ashtamī (चैत्र शुक्ल अष्टमी) - In 2026, this falls towards the end of March (exact date varies slightly by location and panchang).

• Pārṇā Tithi:

- Vaiśākh Shukla Tritiyā (Akṣay Tritiyā / Akha Trij) - In 2026, this tithi runs roughly from 19–20 April 2026 (again, exact calendar date and day depend on your city and which panchang is used).

JainKnowledge has already clarified for 2026 that:

• Varshitap is observed from Chaitra Shukla Ashtamī
• And Pārṇā is on Vaiśākh Shukla Tritiyā (Akṣay Tritiyā) for that Varshitap batch.

You can see that explanation here:

2. Pattern of the “entire schedule”

For any year (including 2026), the Varshitap schedule itself is fixed by rule, not by a printed list:

1. Duration

- 13 lunar months + 13 days continuous. - Because of adhik (extra) months, for some years (like this cycle connected to 2026) the total spans a little over 13 solar months.

1. Fasting pattern (main rule)

- One day complete upvās (no food, only water as per your niyam) - Next day ekāsan / beāsan / once-a-day meal (according to your sankalp). - Repeat this alternate‑day pattern (upvās / bhojan) for the entire period until Pārṇā.

1. Food restrictions (commonly followed, ask your guru for exact niyam):

- No bāsi (stale) food - No root vegetables (jamikand, etc.) - Avoid bahu‑bījī (many‑seeded) items, heavy masalas, etc. - Many tapasvīs further restrict items as per their own vow.

So your “entire schedule” is simply:

• From your start tithi up to Akṣay Tritiyā Pārṇā tithi:

- Day 1 – Upvās - Day 2 – Bhojan (as per sankalp) - Day 3 – Upvās - Day 4 – Bhojan - … and so on, without break, for 13 months and 13 days.

A local Varshitap diary or your sangh often prints this as a table, but that table is just this same alternate‑day rule mapped onto your local panchang.

3. How to get the exact 2026 date‑wise table for you

To get a fully correct, day‑by‑day Varshitap 2026 schedule (with Gregorian dates):

1. Decide:

- Your city / time zone - Which Jain panchang you follow (e.g., local sangh calendar, Mypanchang‑based, etc.).

1. Take that panchang and:

- Mark Chaitra Shukla Ashtamī (start). - Mark Vaiśākh Shukla Tritiyā (Akṣay Tritiyā) for the Pārṇā.

1. From the start date, mark:

- All odd‑numbered days as Upvās, - All even‑numbered days as Bhojan, till you reach Pārṇā day.

1. Many sanghs also:

- Print a special Varshitap calendar / diary every year, - Or your pūjya muni / sādhu‑sādhvījī / guruji will give the ready‑made printed schedule.

Because small differences in tithi‑ending times change the civil date, it is not safe for me to give you a universal 1‑April‑style list that may be off by a day in your region.

Summary

• For the Varshitap cycle tied to Akṣay Tritiyā 2026, the main points are:

- Start on Chaitra Shukla Ashtamī (late March 2026, exact date from your panchang). - Alternate Upvās and Bhojan every day for 13 months + 13 days. - Pārṇā on Vaiśākh Shukla Tritiyā (Akṣay Tritiyā) around 19–20 April 2026 (exact date per your local panchang).

• For the full printed schedule with exact dates, please:

- Use your local Jain panchang, or - Take the ready‑made Varshitap calendar / diary issued by your sangh or guru.
