When does Bhadrapada Maas 1915 start?
In North India (Purnimanta calendar) Bhadrapada runs from Wednesday, 25 August 1915 to Thursday, 23 September 1915. In Amanta-calendar regions it runs Friday, 10 September 1915 to Friday, 8 October 1915.

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.
