    Continuously 5 upvas is chaat attam

    2 hrs ago 2

    Answer

    No. Continuously 5 Upvas is generally called Panch Upvas or 5 Upvas.

    Attham / Atham means 3 continuous Upvas.

    Explanation

    In common Jain practice:

    • 1 Upvas = one full fast
    • Bey Upvas = 2 continuous fasts
    • Attham / Atham = 3 continuous fasts
    • Chauvihar Attham = 3 continuous fasts with Chauvihar rules
    • 5 Upvas = Panch Upvas

    So, 5 continuous Upvas is not called Attham.

    Takeaway

    Attham = 3 Upvas, while 5 continuous Upvas = Panch Upvas / 5 Upvas.
