    In simple terms, aavani avittam needs to be performed on the pournami prior to aavani amavasai. Sometimes this pournami (known as sravana pournami) falls in the month of aadi and sometimes in the month of aavani..

    Since this year (Nanthana Varusham) Avani month is called as "Mala Maasam" (when 2 amavasya or 2 pournami occurs a month, that month is not suitable for any of the functions and ceremonies)

    That is the reason, even varalakshmi Nombu, Avani Avittam and even Gokulashtami falls on the month of Aadi.
