Bhadra or Bhadrapada or Bhādo or Bhadraba (Bengali: ভাদ্র bhādro; Hindi: भादों bhādo; Sanskrit: भाद्रपद bhādrapada; Nepali: भाद्र Bhādra; Gujarati: ભાદરવો Bhādravo; Odia: ଭାଦ୍ରବ Bhadraba; Assamese: ভাদ Bhadô) is the sixth month of the Hindu calendar, which falls in August and September of the Gregorian calendar.

[1] In India's national civil calendar (Shaka calendar), Bhadra is the sixth month of the year, beginning on middle of August and ending on middle of September (date varies).

In Hindu astrology, Bhadra begins with the Sun's entry into Leo and is the sixth month of the year.

Per the Shaka calendar, the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha) of Bhadrapada is reserved for the veneration of the dead.

Krishna was born on the eighth day of Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada (according to the purnimanta tradition) and Radha was born on the eighth day of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada.
