Jyeshtha Month 2025: Significance
Jyeshtha is a month of major importance in the Hindu calendar. It is the third month in India's national civil calendar and generally falls during the time from May to June on the Gregorian calendar. Bengali refers to it as Joishtho, and it is regarded as the second month in the Bengali calendar. In lunar religious calendars, Jyeshtha starts with the new moon and is also the third month. It is the height of summer in India, with hot weather.
In Hindu astrology, Jyeshtha starts when the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Taurus. It is thus regarded as the second month in the astrological calendar. In Tamil culture, this time is referred to as Āni and constitutes the third month of the Tamil solar calendar, starting in mid-June. Throughout various regions and traditions, Jyeshtha is seasonally, spiritually and astrologically significant, affecting religious observances and cultural practices alike.
