Vaishakh (Vaishakh Maas) 1912 Dates
The significance of Vaishakh — Lord Vishnu (Madhusudan)
Vaishakh is a month of water and merit, worshipped to Vishnu as Madhusudan. Its Akshaya Tritiya is one of the most auspicious days of the year — whatever is begun, given or bought on it is held never to diminish. It closes on Buddha Purnima, the full moon that marks the Buddha's birth, enlightenment and passing, and the pre-dawn Vaishakh snan runs through it.

Vaishakh 1912 — Frequently Asked Questions
When does Vaishakh Maas 1912 start?
In North India (Purnimanta calendar) Vaishakh runs from Tuesday, 2 April 1912 to Wednesday, 1 May 1912. In Amanta-calendar regions it runs Thursday, 18 April 1912 to Thursday, 16 May 1912.
Why do Vaishakh 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. In the Amanta calendar (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Goa, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu) the month runs new-moon to new-moon.
