Why the dates differ. In the Purnimanta calendar a month ends on the full moon; in Amanta it ends on the new moon. So Bhadrapada begins about 15 days earlier in North India than in Amanta regions — even though the festivals fall on the same day in both, because they are fixed by tithi.

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
  • The Janmashtami nishita fast and abhishek

  • Tarpan and shraddh for ancestors through Pitru Paksha
