Adhik maas

About every 32 months a lunar month passes without a solar sankranti and is repeated as Adhik or Purushottam maas — weddings are avoided in it. 2026: Ashadha, Jyeshtha; 2027: none.

Purnimanta vs Amanta

In Amanta regions (Gujarat, Maharashtra, the south) a month ends on Amavasya. The tithi is the same everywhere; only the month name of the dark half changes.
