When does Bhadrapada Maas 2069 start?
In North India (Purnimanta calendar) Bhadrapada runs from Monday, 2 September 2069 to Monday, 30 September 2069. In Amanta-calendar regions it runs Monday, 16 September 2069 to Tuesday, 15 October 2069.
Why do Bhadrapada dates differ in North and South India?
Because the two regions follow different lunar calendars. In the Purnimanta calendar (North India) a month ends on the Purnima, so it starts about 15 days earlier than in Amanta.
