In October, November, and December there are fewer ceremonies.

January is a month devoted to religious bathing.

Also, in January, the religious Hindoos invite Brahmans to read and expound the sacred books in their houses, which are open to all hearers.

In February there are festivals to Krishna.
The month of March is devoted to ascetic exercises, especially to the famous one of swinging suspended by hooks.
