Why the dates differ. In the Purnimanta calendar a month ends on the full moon; in Amanta it ends on the new moon. So Vaishakh begins about 15 days earlier in North India than in Amanta regions — even though the festivals fall on the same day in both, because they are fixed by tithi.

The significance of Vaishakh — Lord Vishnu (Madhusudan)

Vaishakh is a month of water and merit, worshipped to Vishnu as Madhusudan. Its Akshaya Tritiya is one of the most auspicious days of the year — whatever is begun, given or bought on it is held never to diminish. It closes on Buddha Purnima, the full moon that marks the Buddha's birth, enlightenment and passing, and the pre-dawn Vaishakh snan runs through it.

Rituals of Vaishakh

  • Vaishakh snan — a daily holy dip through the month
  • Akshaya Tritiya — beginnings, gold and dana
  • Water, sattu and cooling foods offered in dana
  • Sita Navami and Narasimha Jayanti vrats
  • Buddha Purnima worship and bathing
  • Fasting on Varuthini and Mohini Ekadashi

Key days in Vaishakh 2100

Vrat and tithi dates follow whichever month window your calendar uses, so both systems are listed separately below.

Festivals in Vaishakh 2100

Within the Purnimanta window (Sun, 25 Apr – Sun, 23 May). Festivals are fixed by tithi, so each falls on the same civil day in both systems.

Vaishakh 2100 — Frequently Asked Questions

When does Vaishakh Maas 2100 start?

In North India (Purnimanta calendar) Vaishakh runs from Sunday, 25 April 2100 to Sunday, 23 May 2100. In Amanta-calendar regions it runs Monday, 10 May 2100 to Monday, 7 June 2100.

Why do Vaishakh 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.

Which deity is Vaishakh 2100 dedicated to?

Vaishakh is a month of water and merit, worshipped to Vishnu as Madhusudan.
