Answer

In Jain tradition, Akshay Nidhi Tap is generally observed with a repeating pattern of:

• 1 Upvas – complete fast
• 1 Biyasana – eating twice within proper limits

This sequence is repeated for the prescribed duration of the tap.

Explanation

The usual pattern is:

• Day 1: Upvas
• Day 2: Biyasana
• Day 3: Upvas
• Day 4: Biyasana

And so on.

However, the exact duration and rules may vary slightly according to one’s Jain tradition, local practice, guru-bhagwant’s guidance, and personal capacity.

Spiritual Understanding

The purpose of Akshay Nidhi Tap is not only fasting, but also:

• reducing attachment to food,
• strengthening self-control,
• purifying karma,
• increasing devotion, samayik, pratikraman, and dharm dhyan.

Takeaway

The common pattern of Akshay Nidhi Tap is Upvas followed by Biyasana, repeated continuously. It should ideally be undertaken with the guidance of a knowledgeable Jain guru or elder.
