The significance of Bhadrapada — Lord Ganesha & Krishna
Bhadrapada, at the tail of the monsoon, carries some of the year's biggest observances — Krishna's birth at Janmashtami, Ganesha's installation at Ganesh Chaturthi, and the ten days that end at Anant Chaturdashi. Its second, waning fortnight is Pitru Paksha, given wholly to the ancestors through tarpan and shraddh.
Rituals of Bhadrapada
- Ganesh sthapana and ten days of aarti to Anant Chaturdashi

When does Bhadrapada Maas 2083 start?
In North India (Purnimanta calendar) Bhadrapada runs from Saturday, 28 August 2083 to Saturday, 25 September 2083. In Amanta-calendar regions it runs Sunday, 12 September 2083 to Monday, 11 October 2083.
