thumb|Taurus Astrological Sign at the Wisconsin State Capitol Vṛṣabha, Vrishabha or Vṛṣa, is a month in the Indian solar calendar. It corresponds to the zodiacal sign of Taurus, and overlaps with about the second half of May and about the first half of June in the Gregorian calendar. The first day of the month is called Vrishbha Sankranti, and it generally falls on May 14 or 15.
In Vedic texts, the month of Vṛṣabha is called Madhava (IAST: Mādhava), but in these ancient texts it has no zodiacal associations. The solar month of Vṛṣabha overlaps with the lunar month of Jyeshtha in Hindu lunisolar calendars. Vṛṣabha is preceded by the solar month of Mesha and followed by the solar month of Mithuna.
