Adhik Maas Years List 2023, 2026, 2029 - 2099
Adhik Maas is an additional month in the Hindu calendar. Adhik-Maas is often considered an inauspicious month, in this month there is a ban on doing all kinds of auspicious work. It is also called Purushottam month or Malmas. Because of this month in Brijbhoomi, the whole year is also known as the launad year. According to Jyotish Shastra, Adhik month comes after every three years, but which Hindi month will be called as Adhik month is extracted from astrology calculation only.
Why is there Adhik month?
The Hindu calendar consists of 12 months, based on the movement of the moon. A year in the Surya calendar is of 365 days and about 6 hours, while a lunar year of the Hindu calendar is considered to be 354 days. There is a difference of about 11 days between these two calendar years. This difference of 11 days becomes equal to one month in three years. To overcome this difference, a lunar month comes into existence every three years. This newly increased month itself is called Adhik Maas or Mal Maas. Sri Hari Vishnu is worshiped in the Adik month.
How did the name Purushottam month come about?
Sri Hari Vishnu is said to be the Lord of Adhikamas, and Purushottama is his only name. Therefore, Adhik Maas is also called Purushottam Maas. There is a story behind this too.
According to belief, the Indian sages determined a deity for each lunar month by their method of calculation. Since the Adhikamas balance between the solar and lunar months, no deity was ready to become the ruler of this additional month. In such a situation, the sages requested Sri Vishnu to take the burden of this month upon himself. Sri Hari Vishnu accepted this request and thus this month became Purushottam month.
Any auspicious work like marriage, mundan, house warming etc. auspicious works are not done in this month.
