Vaishakha Punya Masa 

Vaishakha is the second Lunar Month in the Hindu Lunar Calendar, whose  computation began  from the Equinoctial New Moon, Amavaysa,  which fell on March 18. So Chaitradi, the First Lunar Month, started on 18 Mar. 

On 16 Apr 2018, we have the second lunar month of Vaishakha, which is considered a Holy Month for the Eternians. Like the Vrischika Punya Masa, the month of Sidereal Scorpio, Vaishakha is full of esoteric significance. Vaishakha is the Lunar Month, when the Solar Ingress into Taurus  takes place, Vaishakhe Vrisha Sankranti. Guruvayur, the fourth largest pilgrim center in the world, becomes full of pilgrims. 

The Baisakhi Festival, the beginning of the Punjabi Calendar bears close resemblance to Vaisakha. Also the Vaikaasi, the second lunar month in the Tamil Calendar. It is called Pohela Boisakh in Bengal and Bohag Bihu in Assam. 

Some Sacred Days fall within Vaishakha. 

They are

Akshaya Thritheeya - This is the Third  Lunation ( Longitude of Moon in between (2*12) - (3*12) degrees from the Sun  ) in the Waxing Moon Fortnight in Vaishakha  , 

People buy a lot of gold during this Day, as the belief is that anything acquired will multiply ! Akshaya means inexhaustible and Akshaya Thritheeya is the day to acquire anything inexhuastibly !
