Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Dear Friends, Ashadha Masa has been much maligned for doing any good thing , leave alone marriage. Only logical reason that can be put forward is, "India is an Agarian society where over 80 percent of people are involved in agriculture" Ashadha is the time when first rains are received and crop sowing/replanting rice takes place. Most of the society is involved in the farming work. With rains coming down and people absenting themselves to be either in the fields or confined to homes due to rains, marriages are ruled out. Almost all activities except planting of crops came to a grinding halt in south India(Especially). So our ancestors declared Ashadha Masa to be not a good month to do any SUBHA things.
