Jain monk chaturmas 2025 in Mumbai
Here is the essential information for Chaturmas (Chaumasa) 2025 as it relates to Mumbai:
- Chaturmas 2025 period: starts on Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi (6 July 2025) and ends on Kartik Shukla Ekadashi (1 November 2025). Monks and nuns stay in one place during this four-month period and lay followers observe vrat, upavās, and scriptural study. This is the traditional pattern followed in Jainism. You’ll see this timing reflected in multiple Jain calendar notes for 2025. You can read more about the 2025 dates and practices here . Also see a Colaba/Mumbai-focused note here .
- About Mumbai-specific arrangements: Chaturmas observances in Mumbai are organized by local Jain sanghs (temples and upashayas) in areas like Colaba, Juhu, and South Mumbai. Exact gurubhagwant (monk/sadhvi in residence) and pravachan schedules are announced locally by the sanghs and may vary year to year. If you want precise details for Colaba or a particular Mumbai sangh, contact the local sangh offices or upashays (for example, the Colaba Jain sangh or nearby upashays) close to the date. The general practice (sthiti of sadhus in one place, intensified study and pancham) remains the same across traditions.
Notes:
- If you’re looking for a specific guru’s Chaturmas thana in Mumbai (which gurubhagwant is staying where), the most reliable source is the local sangh notice boards or their official contacts for Colaba or South Mumbai. Public notices may not always be published widely online.
