The Paush Month has begun. It starts on 11th December 2011 and ends on 9th January 2012. It is the tenth lunar month in the Hindu Calender. In Hinduism, this month is considered inauspicious for material work and progress. Generally no marriages, sacred thread ceremony, moving to new house are done during this month. That means the month is free for progress in spiritual sphere.
