When does Bhadrapada Maas 1914 start?
In North India (Purnimanta calendar) Bhadrapada runs from Friday, 7 August 1914 to Friday, 4 September 1914. In Amanta-calendar regions it runs Saturday, 22 August 1914 to Saturday, 19 September 1914.
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.
