Answer

For Varshitap, the rule is generally:

• One day Upvas
• Next day Besna/Byasna or Parna according to the tradition being followed

So whether today is Upvas or Byasna depends on your specific Varshitap calendar and the day on which you started the tap.

Explanation

Varshitap follows an alternate pattern of fasting and eating, connected with the great tapasya of Bhagwan Rishabhdev.

To know today’s correct observance, please check:

• Your local Jain sangh’s Varshitap calendar
• Your guru bhagwant/muni maharaj’s guidance
• The starting date of your Varshitap cycle

Takeaway

I should not guess for today’s tithi-based practice. Please follow your local sangh or guru’s Varshitap schedule for the correct answer for today.
