Chaturmaasa Dhadhi Vrata begins
End of Shaka Vrata and the beginning of Dhadhi Vrata.
Complete Shaaka Vrat on Sravana Suddha Dashami. Start Dhadhi Vrata from Ekadasi. This should continue until Bhadrapada Suddha Dasami. During this period, curd should not be consumed, but buttermilk is allowed according to Dharmasindu Page 51 Verse:
"Atra (Da-dhi) Dati Matram Varjyam, n. Takrateenam."
This means buttermilk can be consumed, but curd is not permitted. In the Panjamruta Abhishekam, curd should be excluded, but all other Abhishekam fragrances can be included.
