1
Answer
In Jain practice, Labdhi Tap is generally observed as a 51-day tap.
The common count is:
- 25 Upvas
- 26 Ekasana
So, in total:
- Total days: 51
- Upvas: 25
- Ekasana: 26
Explanation
Labdhi Tap is usually done by alternating:
- One day Ekasana
- Next day Upvas
Since it begins with Ekasana and ends with Ekasana, the number of Ekasana becomes one more than Upvas:
- 26 Ekasana
- 25 Upvas
Takeaway
Labdhi Tap is a serious Jain tapasya and should be undertaken with proper guidance from a Guru, sadhu-sadhvi bhagwant, or experienced Jain shravak-shravika, according to one’s health and capacity.
