Taura (Classical Mandaic: ࡕࡀࡅࡓࡀ) is the fourth month of the Mandaean calendar.[1]
The month begins with the festival of Ead Fel, during which crushed dates with roasted sesame seeds are eaten. It is followed by 3 days of light fasting on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th days of Taura. Dehwa Hanina, the Little Feast, is celebrated on the 18th day of Taura.[2]
It is the Mandaic name for the constellation Taurus.[1] It currently corresponds to Oct / Nov in the Gregorian calendar due to a lack of a leap year in the Mandaean calendar.
