The month corresponds to summer (Grishma) season and falls in May–June of the Gregorian calendar.
In the Hindu solar calendar, it corresponds to the month of Vṛṣabha and begins with the Sun's entry into Taurus. It corresponds to Joishtho, the second month in the Bengali calendar. In the Tamil calendar, it corresponds to the third month of Āni, falling in the Gregorian months of June–July. In the Vaishnav calendar, it corresponds to the third month of Trivikrama.
