Meṣa → Mesha (month) – This is English language wikipedia, so IAST spelling of Meṣa is not appropirate. Also Mesha is more common name. Crashed greek (talk) 04:10, 5 April 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 05:25, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support general Indian English spelling.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 10:31, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
