Chaturmas
Chaturmas ((サンスクリット:चातुर्मास), Cāturmāsa) is a holy period of four months (July to October), beginning on Shayani Ekadashi—the eleventh day of the first bright half, Shukla paksha, of Ashadh (fourth month of the Hindu lunar calendar)—until Prabodhini Ekadashi, the eleventh day of the first bright half of ''Kartik'' (eighth month of the Hindu lunar calendar) in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Chaturmas is reserved for penance, austerities, fasting, bathing in holy rivers and religious observances for all. Devotees resolve to observe some form of vow, be it of silence or abstaining from a favourite food item, or having only a single meal in a day. ==Etymology== Chaturmas literally means "four months", derived from the Sanskrit ''catur'' (चतुर्), "four",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spken Sanskrit )〕 and ''māsa'' (मासः), "month".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spoken Sanskrit )〕
