In the Hindu lunar calendar, it corresponds to the third month of Jyeshtha, falling in the Gregorian months of May–June.[4] In the Hindu solar calendar, it corresponds to the second month of Vṛṣabha and begins with the Sun's entry into Taurus.[5] In the Vaishnav calendar, it corresponds to the third month of Trivikrama.[6][7]
