Lunar Months & Solar Transition
The Gregorian month of മേയ് most often spans the lunar months of Vaishakha and Jyeshtha in the Vedic calendar. The Sun moves through Vrishabha rashi (Taurus), with Vrishabha Sankranti falling around May 15, marking the Sun's entry into Taurus. 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 മേയ് 2030 are reflected in the day-by-day grid above.
Significance of മേയ് in the Vedic Tradition
May straddles two of the most ritually significant lunar months. Vaishakha is considered the month most beloved of Lord Vishnu — daily sunrise bathing through Vaishakha is regarded as equal in merit to many years of pilgrimage. Buddha Purnima falls on Vaishakha Purnima and is observed across both Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Narasimha Jayanti, on Vaishakha Shukla Chaturdashi, commemorates the appearance of Lord Vishnu in his man-lion form to protect the child Prahlada — a story closely linked to the Holika Dahan of March.
