Importance of Asadha Maas
The Month of Asadha is very important in Hinduism. Worshiping Mangal and Surya during this time is considered auspicious. According to astrology, by worshiping mangal in this month, mangal sitting in the horoscope starts giving auspicious effects instead of inauspicious effects.
