Jeth

For the month of the Hindu calendar, see Jyeshta.

Jeṭh (Shahmukhi: جیٹھ; Gurmukhi: ਜੇਠ) is a third month of the Punjabi calendar and the Nanakshahi calendar, which governs the activities within Sikhism.[1] The Nanakshahi solar month begins on May 5th, after Vaisakh, and ends on June 15th, with Harh following.[2] The traditional Punjabi Bikrami lunisolar month begins on the day after the Vaisakh full moon and ends on the Jeth full moon.

This month coincides with Jyeshtha in the Hindu calendar and the Indian national calendar, and May and June in the Gregorian and Julian calendars and is 31 days long.
