Daula (

Classical Mandaic: ࡃࡀࡅࡋࡀ) is the first month of the Mandaean calendar.[1] The month begins with Dehwa Rabba, or New Year's Day. The Feast of the Great Shishlam is celebrated on the sixth day of the month.[2]

It is the Mandaic name for the constellation Aquarius.[1] It currently corresponds to Jul / Aug in the Gregorian calendar due to a lack of a leap year in the Mandaean calendar.
