    I did 2 upvas and 6 ekashna what it called

    2 hrs ago 1

    Answer

    In Jain practice, doing 2 Upvas and 6 Ekashna together is generally called a form of Tapasya.

    There is no single special fixed name for exactly 2 Upvas + 6 Ekashna that is universally used in Jain tradition.

    Explanation

    • Upvas means fasting for the day, generally without food.
    • Ekashna means eating only once in the day, within proper Jain rules.
    • When these are done together over several days, it is called Tap or Tapasya.

    Some people may describe it simply as:

    • 2 Upvas ane 6 Ekashna ni Tapasya
    • 8 divas ni Tapasya, if it was done over 8 days

    Takeaway

    You can correctly say: “I did 2 Upvas and 6 Ekashna ni Tapasya.”
