Masa
Shravana Masa Meaning
Shravana is the 5th month of the Hindu lunar calendar, usually falling in July-August during Varsha (monsoon). Important observances include Shravan Somvar, Nag Panchami, Raksha Bandhan and, in the amanta reckoning, Janmashtami. 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
Shravana Masa is the 5th lunar month, usually July-August. Its exact use depends on the wider panchang context: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vaara, and local sunrise.
