We hardly know our festivals by lunar calendar. We all know “Mahavir Jayanti” comes some time in March-April and Holi in March, Diwali in Oct/Nov. But How many of us know the months in Lunar calendar and “tithi” that these festivals fall on?
I have recently started to know these details.
So do KVites also know any of the festivals by lunar calendar?
I am sharing some here:
Bhadarva sud Pancham : Samvatsari Pratikraman
Chaitra sud Teras : Mahavir Jayanti (b’day of lord mahavir)
Aaso vad Amas : Diwali
Kartik sud Poonam: Dev Diwali
Please correct me if I am wrong in the above details.
(The calendar that BAPS prints has very good details)
Fagan Sud Poonam – Holi
Chaitra Sud Nom – Ram Navami
Ashadh Sud Beej – Kutchi New Year
Shravan Sud Poonam – Raksha Bandhan
Jayaben !! aaken mede tithi ane tahevar achna khape. Khali char na hale.
It’s hard to remember all of these, but now when i am going by months (my memory test too) can recollect some of them
Kartak sud pancham – laabh pancham
Posh – there is something here can’t recollect( does ayambil oli begin here ??)
maha ?? – maha shivratri
Chaitra sud ekam – gudi padvo
Vaishakh sud trij (akha trij) – varshitap parna
Shravan vad baras/teras – paryushan begins (depending upon gach)
Bhadarva sud choth – samvatsari (for baras paksh), ganesh chaturthi
Bhadarva sud chaudas – ananth chaturdashi
Aaso sud ekam – navratri
Aaso sud dasam – dashera
aaso sud poonam – Sharad poornima
Ayambil oli comes in Chaitra (beginning of Chitra) Just went by.
