Answer

Yes. In Jain Dharma, doing 5 upvas is considered a meaningful form of tapasya, but it does not have the same widely established traditional identity as Tela or Athai.

• Tela = 3 continuous upvas
• Athai = 8 continuous upvas
• 5 upvas = a sincere tapasya, but it is generally not known by a special universally recognized name like Tela or Athai

Explanation

In Jain tradition, every genuine tapasya done with right intention has spiritual value. So, 5 upvas is definitely respected as a strong austerity.

However, certain tapasyas have become especially well-known in Jain practice, such as:

• Tela — 3 upvas
• Athai — 8 upvas
• Masakshaman — approximately one month of upvas

These are commonly recognized names in Jain society. But for exactly 5 upvas, there is no commonly accepted special “fact” or universally established scriptural name in the same way.

Spiritual Understanding

The main Jain principle is not the number alone, but the inner purity behind the tapasya:

• Reduction of attachment to the body
• Control over taste and desire
• Growth of samayik, pratikraman, swadhyay, and dhyan
• Nirjara — shedding of karmas through tapasya

So 5 upvas is spiritually meaningful when done with humility, awareness, and proper guidance, not with pride or comparison.

Takeaway

5 upvas is a worthy Jain tapasya, but it does not have a commonly established special significance like Tela or Athai. Its real value lies in bhav, self-control, and karma nirjara.
