Ashadha is the fourth month in the Hindu lunar calendar, typically falling between June and July in the Gregorian calendar. It is considered an important month for various religious observances and festivals, including the celebration of Guru Purnima, which honors spiritual teachers. In many regions of India, Ashadha marks the beginning of the monsoon season, bringing much-needed rain for agriculture. Farmers often prepare their fields during this time, as the rains are crucial for the growth of crops. The month is also associated with various cultural practices and rituals that reflect the changing seasons.
