When does Bhadrapada Maas 1912 start?
In North India (Purnimanta calendar) Bhadrapada runs from Wednesday, 28 August 1912 to Thursday, 26 September 1912. In Amanta-calendar regions it runs Thursday, 12 September 1912 to Thursday, 10 October 1912.
Why do Bhadrapada dates differ in North and South India?
Because the two regions follow different lunar calendars. In the Purnimanta calendar (North India) a month ends on the Purnima, so it starts about 15 days earlier than in Amanta.
