Lunar Months & Solar Transition
The Gregorian month of സെപ്റ്റംബർ most often spans the lunar months of Bhadrapada and Ashwin in the Vedic calendar. The Sun moves through Kanya rashi (Virgo), with Kanya Sankranti around September 17 marking the Sun's entry into Virgo and the formal start of the Pitru Paksha (shraddha fortnight) in most reckonings. Because the Hindu calendar is lunisolar — its months are tied to the Moon while its year is corrected against the Sun — the precise start of each lunar month shifts year to year. The transitions for സെപ്റ്റംബർ 2021 are reflected in the day-by-day grid above.
Significance of സെപ്റ്റംബർ in the Vedic Tradition
September is the month in which Hindu reverence for ancestors reaches its annual peak. The 16-day Pitru Paksha — beginning on Bhadrapada Purnima and culminating on Mahalaya Amavasya — is the period during which every Hindu family is enjoined to offer pinda-dana and tarpana to departed ancestors. The month opens with the ten-day Ganesh Chaturthi celebration, during which Lord Ganesha is invited as a household guest and offered daily worship until visarjan (immersion) on Anant Chaturdashi. Onam in Kerala falls on the Thiruvonam nakshatra in Bhadrapada — celebrating the return of King Mahabali.
