Lunar month
Paush

Months are counted the North Indian way (purnimanta): a month runs from one full moon to the next, so the dark half belongs to the following month. In Maharashtra, Gujarat and the South the dark half belongs to the earlier month, so the same festival can carry a different month name there.
