Traditional interpretation

By tradition, Bhadra resides in Bhumi (earth) when the Moon is in Karka, Simha, Kumbha or Meena, in Swarga when it is in Mesha, Vrishabha, Mithuna or Vrishchika, and in Patala when it is in Kanya, Tula, Dhanu or Makara. Bhadra on earth is generally considered the most significant.

Bhadra is the Vishti karana (a calculated half-tithi). Many traditions avoid auspicious beginnings during Bhadra, especially when it resides on earth (Moon in Karka, Simha, Kumbha or Meena); some permit activities when it resides in Swarga or Patala.

Festival rules that avoid Bhadra, such as Raksha Bandhan and Holika Dahan, have their windows adjusted automatically on their festival pages.

Traditions may vary by region and Panchang convention. Times are shown for the selected place, time zone and calculation profile.
