Kalpavas (Sanskrit: कल्पवास) is a month-long spiritual tradition in Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) that involves a period of deep spiritual practice, austerity, and detachment from worldly life, practiced by staying near the bank of a holy river.[1][2] In Hindu scriptures, Kalpavas is said to be the combination of Sanyaas and Vanprastha Ashram.[3][4][5]
