Answer

In Jain Dharma, the gap between fasts depends on which upvas/tap you are doing.

If you mean a pattern like first 2 upvas together, then usually after completing 2 continuous upvas, one takes parna and then a break according to health, strength, and the specific tap’s rule.

Explanation

Commonly:

• 2 Upvas together means fasting for 2 days continuously.
• After that, on the next day, you do parna.
• Then the number of break days depends on the tap:
  • Some tapas have a fixed pattern.
  • Some are done according to personal capacity.
  • Some require guidance from a Guru, Maharaj Saheb, Sadhviji, or knowledgeable elder.

For example, in some tapas people may do:

• 2 upvas, then parna
• then rest/eat normally for some days
• then again continue the next part of the tap

But the exact break — whether 1 day, 2 days, more days, or a fixed rule — depends on the name of the tap.

Important

Please tell me which tap you are asking about, for example:

• Varsitap
• Ayambil Oli
• Attham
• Masakshaman
• Navpad Oli
• Any other specific upvas ni tap

Then I can explain the exact sequence clearly.
