Common questions
When does Ashadha start in 2028?
Ashadha 2028 starts on Thursday, 8 June 2028 in the North Indian purnimanta calendar, and on Friday, 23 June 2028 in the amanta calendar used in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and South India.
When does Ashadha end in 2028?
The purnimanta month ends on Ashadha Purnima, Thursday, 6 July 2028. The amanta month ends on Ashadha Amavasya, Saturday, 22 July 2028.
Why do North and South India show different dates?
Both systems use the same new-moon and full-moon moments. Purnimanta months end on Purnima, amanta months end on Amavasya, so the month name shifts by a fortnight for the Krishna paksha. Festival dates are the same; only the month label differs.
