Common questions
When does Shukla Paksha start in July 2031?
The Shukla Paksha windows in July 2031: Ashadha Shukla Paksha from 1 Jul 2031 to 4 Jul 2031, and Shravana Shukla Paksha from 20 Jul 2031 to 31 Jul 2031.
Why can one civil month have two windows?
A lunar fortnight is about 14–15 civil days, so a civil month usually contains one full Shukla Paksha and can also catch the tail of the previous one at the start of the month. The Hindu month label changes between the two windows.
Do these dates change by city?
The paksha itself is a Moon phase and does not depend on location, but the tithi at sunrise can differ by a day between time zones. This table uses the Mumbai India-baseline sunrise.
