Jyeshtha Month 2023: According to the Panchang, Jyestha is the third month of the year. This year Jyestha month has started from 6th May 2023 which will end on 4th June 2023. Jyeshtha month is such a time of summer season, in which there is extreme heat.

Nautapa also starts in Jyeshtha month itself and for the whole nine days people start feeling the scorching heat. Many rules have been given in the scriptures regarding Jyeshtha month, which are considered favorable for health. One of these is the rules of taking food. In the scriptures and Indian tradition, the rules of eating and drinking have been told according to the seasons. Jan Kavi Ghagh says about taking food according to every month and season-

Chaite Gur Baisakhe Oil Jetha Chilli, Ashadh Bell.
Sawan Saag Bhado Mahi Quanr Bitter Gourd Kartik Curd.
Aghan Jeera Pus Dhana Maghai Mishri Falgun Chana.
whoever avoids so much, Don’t set foot outside the house.

The meaning of this couplet is jaggery in the month of Chait, oil in Vaishakh, chilli-spice in Jetha, bel in Ashadh, greens in Sawan, curd in Bhado, milk in Kwar, curd in Kartik, cumin in Agahan, coriander in Pus, Consuming sugar candy in Magh and gram in Phagun month is very injurious to health. That’s why it has been said in the scriptures to eat food according to the rituals. By consuming food according to the season, the body remains healthy and dangerous diseases stay away.
