Ashadha or Aashaadha or Adi (Hindi: आसाढ़Āsāṛh or आषाढĀṣāḍh; Assamese: আহাৰahar; Odia: ଆଷାଢ଼Āṣāḍh; Bengali: আষাঢ়; Sylheti: ꠀꠀꠠaáṛ; Nepali: असारasār; Gujarati: અષાઢ) is a month of the Hindu calendar that corresponds to June/July in the Gregorian calendar.[1] In India's national civil calendar, this month is the fourth month of the year, beginning on 22 June and ending on 22 July. In Hindu astrology, Ashada begins with the Sun's entry into Gemini. It is the first of the two months that comprise the monsoon season.
The corresponding month in the Bengali calendar, Aṣaṛh (Bengali: আষাঢ় "Monsoon"), is the third month.
In lunar religious calendars, Ashada begins on a new moon and is usually the fourth month of the year.
