The significance of Ashadha — Lord Vishnu
Ashadha is the threshold of the monsoon and of Chaturmas — the four months in which Vishnu is said to sleep, beginning at Devshayani Ekadashi, when weddings and new ventures pause. It carries the Jagannath Rath Yatra at Puri and Guru Purnima, the full moon given to the teacher, when Vyasa is honoured and the disciple bows to the one who shows the way.
Rituals of Ashadha
- Devshayani Ekadashi — the start of Chaturmas vows
- Jagannath Rath Yatra at Puri
- Guru Purnima — worship of the guru and Vyasa
- Taking up a Chaturmas discipline or fast
- Gupt Navratri for the initiated
- Fasting on Yogini and Devshayani Ekadashi

When does Ashadha Maas 2055 start?
In North India (Purnimanta calendar) Ashadha runs from Thursday, 10 June 2055 to Thursday, 8 July 2055. In Amanta-calendar regions it runs Friday, 25 June 2055 to Saturday, 24 July 2055.
