Date of chaturmas
In Jain Dharma, Chaturmas (Chaumasa) does not have a fixed English (Gregorian) date every year.
By definition:
- Start of Chaturmas:
- End of Chaturmas:
So Chaturmas is the four-month period from Āṣāḍh Śukla Ekādashi to Kārtik Śukla Ekādashi as per the Jain lunar calendar. Every year, these tithis fall on different English dates, and can also vary slightly by country/city, so Jains follow their local Jain Panchāng or Sangh calendar.
