Bhaadra or Bhadrapada (Hindi: भादों bhaado, Sanskrit: भाद्रपद bhaadrapad) is a month of the Hindu calendar. In India's national civil calendar (Shaka calendar), Bhaadra is the sixth month of the year, beginning on 23 August and ending on 22 September. Known as Purattaasi, it is the sixth month of the Tamil solar calendar. In solar religious calendars, Bhaadra begins with the Sun's entry into Virgo, and is usually the sixth month of the year.
