Answer

There is no single fixed upvas count for “Param Tap” in Jain Dharma. Jain tradition describes 12 kinds of tapa in all, and upvās/anashan is only one form of external austerity. ( jsmw.org)

Explanation

So the number of upvas depends on which specific tapasya your community means by “Param Tap.” It is not a universally standardized Jain term with one official count across all traditions. ( jsmw.org)

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, tapa is meant for nirjarā—the shedding of karma. Fasting is important, but it is only one part of the broader path of austerity and self-restraint. ( jsmw.org)

Takeaway

So, as a general Jain answer: “Param Tap” does not have one fixed upvas count. If someone is using that name for a local or specific tapasya, the count must be checked from that exact tradition or calendar. ( jsmw.org)
