Questions

From the Dharmasindhu and the Vratarāja, with the page for each.

When does Sawan 2027 start?

In Delhi, by the north Indian (pūrṇimānta) count, Śrāvaṇa 2027 begins on Monday, 19 July and ends on Tuesday, 17 August. By the amānta count it begins a fortnight later, on Tuesday, 3 August, and ends on Tuesday, 31 August.

How many Sawan Mondays are there in 2027?

In Delhi, five by the north Indian count (19 and 26 July; 2, 9 and 16 August) and four by the amānta count (9, 16, 23 and 30 August). Two are in both: 9 and 16 August. DS p. 44

Why do some calendars list different Mondays?

They count the lunar month two ways. The pūrṇimānta count of north India ends each month at the full moon, so its Śrāvaṇa begins the day after the Āṣāḍha Pūrṇimā. The amānta count ends each month at the new moon, so its Śrāvaṇa begins a fortnight later. The texts do not say which count the vow follows. The two months overlap only in the bright fortnight, so only those Mondays are in both lists. DS p. 44
