    What is the type of siddhi tap that is for 88 days in which first 44 days are increasing order and then decreasing order

    20 hrs ago 6

    Answer

    The Siddhi Tap you are referring to is generally known as Chauvihar Siddhi Tap or a form of Vardhaman-Ayambil / Siddhi Tap arranged in an ascending and descending pattern.

    It is performed for 88 days:

    • First 44 days: increasing order
    • Next 44 days: decreasing order

    This type of tap is connected with disciplined fasting or Ayambil-based austerity, where the number or intensity increases first and then gradually reduces.

    Explanation

    In Jain tapasya, such a pattern is often called:

    • Chadti-utarati tapasya — increasing and decreasing austerity
    • Vardhaman pattern — gradually increasing
    • Hrasman pattern — gradually decreasing

    Because local Jain sanghs and traditions may use slightly different names and rules for Siddhi Tap, the exact name and method can vary.

    Takeaway

    The 88-day Siddhi Tap is an ascending-descending Siddhi Tap, commonly understood as a Chadti-Utarati Siddhi Tap. For the exact vidhi, it is best to follow the guidance of your Guru Bhagwant or local Jain sangh, because the rules may differ by tradition.
