Chaturnas start date
In Jain Dharma, Chaturmas (Chaumasa) does not start on a fixed English (Gregorian) date. It is based on the lunar tithi:
- Start of Chaturmas:
- End of Chaturmas:
So Chaturmas always begins on Ashadh Sud 11 and ends on Kartik Sud 11; the exact English dates change every year according to the Jain/Vikram Samvat calendar.
