The significance of Bhadrapada — Lord Ganesha & Krishna
Bhadrapada, at the tail of the monsoon, carries some of the year's biggest observances — Krishna's birth at Janmashtami, Ganesha's installation at Ganesh Chaturthi, and the ten days that end at Anant Chaturdashi. Its second, waning fortnight is Pitru Paksha, given wholly to the ancestors through tarpan and shraddh.
