June 17, marking the end of the festival with the ceremonial bathing of the Earth.

For the year 2025, there is no Adhik Maas (Leap Month) interfering with June. The months proceed chronologically, ensuring the festivals align correctly with the agricultural and seasonal cycles of the monsoon.

This paper examines the structural and astronomical foundations of the Biraja Panjika (almanac) for the month of June 2025. As a seminal text followed predominantly in the Braj region and by the Gaudiya Vaishnava community, the Biraja Calendar operates on a lunisolar framework distinct from the generic Gregorian calendar. This study analyzes the intersection of the Gregorian month of June 2025 with the Indian lunar months of Jyeshtha and Ashadha. Specific attention is paid to the calculation of Tithis (lunar days), Nakshatras (lunar mansions), and the timing of major festivals such as Nirjala Ekadashi and Jagannath Rathyatra . The paper aims to provide a definitive guide to the auspicious timings ( Muhurtas ) and ritualistic obligations for June 2025 as prescribed by the Biraja tradition.

June 2025 in the Biraja calendar balances austerity (Nirjala Ekadashi) and celebration (Savitri Brata). Whether you’re a priest, a homemaker, or a spiritual seeker, marking these dates ensures you stay aligned with Maa Biraja’s grace.
