Aadi is the month that falls between July and August. The month of aadi is popularly known for decorating houses with neem, turmeric, and specially prepared porridge called koozh from finger millet and Kodo millet.

Aadi month also signifies the initiation reproductive cycle of flies and mosquitoes, which results in an increased population of those insects. These insects spread diseases like cholera, dengue, malaria, chikungunya, etc., To prevent this we are using neem and turmeric in and around our house as antimicrobial. And we also intake neem in some instances which plays a major role in preventing ourselves from diseases.
