Masa
Ashadha Masa Meaning
Ashadha is the 4th month of the Hindu lunar calendar, usually falling in June-July during Grishma (summer). Important observances include Rath Yatra, Devshayani Ekadashi, the start of Chaturmas, and Guru Purnima. In the amanta system the month ends on Amavasya; in the purnimanta system used in much of North India it ends on Purnima, so Krishna Paksha dates carry the next month's name.
In Simple Terms
Ashadha Masa is the 4th lunar month, usually June-July. Its exact use depends on the wider panchang context: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vaara, and local sunrise.
