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.

- 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

When does Ashadha Maas 2071 start?
