The correct answer is: C. September 23
The Saka calendar is a solar calendar used in India and Nepal. It is a lunisolar calendar, which means that it is based on the cycles of the moon and the sun. The Saka calendar is 78 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. This means that the first day of the Saka year is always 78 days after the first day of the Gregorian year.
The month of Bhadra is the sixth month of the Saka calendar. It begins on the day of the new moon that falls between August 23 and September 22 in the Gregorian calendar. The end of the month of Bhadra is marked by the full moon that falls between September 22 and October 21 in the Gregorian calendar.
Therefore, the corresponding Gregorian date of the Saka month, Bhadra is September 23.
