The period typically falls between mid-May and early June, varying slightly each year according to astrological calculations. During Agni Nakshatram, temperatures soar, and the risk of heatstroke and dehydration increases significantly. Traditional practices during this time include avoiding strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day, consuming cooling foods and drinks, and seeking shade whenever possible. Many communities also engage in specific rituals and prayers aimed at appeasing the heat and ensuring a safe and prosperous summer.
