Mumbai: Ashadha marks the start of the monsoon season, which brings significant changes to the environment. This month holds great significance in Hinduism as it is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga, Lord Vishnu, and Surya Deva.
Additionally, this month marks the start of the four-month rest period for the deities, known as Chaturmas. In this article, we will discuss the details of the Ashadha month of 2024, including its dates, meanings, rituals, and festivals.
Ashadha month 2024 start and end date
June 23 marks the beginning of the Ashadha month of 2024, which ends on July 21, 2024. Afterwards, Sawan will begin. Ashadha is considered auspicious for recitations, pilgrimages, and continuous merit.
A variety of elaborate prayers are offered this month, which is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. After Ekadashi, however, no auspicious or significant ceremonies will be held. Lord Vishnu, the sustainer of creation, is said to enter a deep slumber during this time, so no auspicious ceremonies, such as weddings, take place during this time.
What to do during Ashadha month?
It is believed that worshipping Lord Narayana and his consort Mahalakshmi with devotion and ritual yields auspicious results, including prosperity and abundance. Although there are no major auspicious events in this month, the religious significance of the month makes it considered highly favourable.
In addition, performing acts of charity and devotion to Suryadev during this month is believed to alleviate ailments and bring Lakshmi’s blessings.
What not do during Ashadha month?
During this month, Lord Vishnu rests, so it is advised against conducting auspicious ceremonies like weddings, since it may cause an imbalance in life’s harmony.
You should also avoid consuming stale food to prevent illnesses. Additionally, water conservation and avoiding waste are essential behaviours during this month due to the onset of the monsoon season.
