What are the exact dates of Chautarmas
Chaturmas (Chaumasa) in Jainism lasts for four months, from Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi to Kartik Shukla Ekadashi. In 2025 this period is generally observed as:
- Start: Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi → July 6, 2025
- End: Kartik Shukla Ekadashi → November 3, 2025
Note: some regional lunisolar calendars may pin the end date slightly differently (often around early November, e.g., November 1–3). The key principle is Four months from Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi to Kartik Shukla Ekadashi, with practices of restraint, study, and devotion during the period.
