The seventh month of the lunisolar Hindu calendar, Ashvin, also known as Ashwin, Ashwan, or Aippasi, marks the onset of the Autumn season. It is the sixth month of the solar Bengali calendar, the seventh of the lunar Indian calendar of the Deccan Plateau, and the solar Tamil calendar, referred to as Aipassi. Vedic Jyotish considers Ashwin to commence with the Sun’s entry into Virgo.
This month overlaps with September and October of the Gregorian calendar and is significant for Diwali, the festival of lights, celebrated in accordance with the amanta tradition (although according to the purnimanta tradition, Diwali falls in Kartika). According to lunar religious calendars, Ashwin begins either on the new moon or the full moon around the September equinox.

Significance of Aippasi Month 2023

At dusk, the first celestial body to grace the night sky is Ashvini, which symbolizes the head of Aries in Indian astrology and is considered the foremost of the 27 Nakshatra. In Hindu mythology, Ashvin, which refers to the divine twins, is associated with the gods of Ayurvedic medicine, sunrise and sunset glows, vision, and the prevention of sickness and misfortune. Asawin is the Thai version of Ashvin and denotes a warrior. When translated into English, it is frequently interpreted as “knight”. During the period of twilight, the Ashvins are said to embody the “merging of light and darkness.”
