How the Hindu calendar works

A lunar month is about 29.5 days, so twelve of them fall about 11 days short of the solar year. Roughly every third year an extra month (adhik maas) is added to keep the festivals in their seasons. In the dark half of each month, North India uses the name of the coming month (purnimanta), while Maharashtra, Gujarat and the South use the name of the month that is ending (amanta); this calendar shows both.

The Vikram Samvat year begins on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, the day after the new moon in March or April, which is also the first day of Chaitra Navratri.

#	Month	Devanagari
1	Chaitra	चैत्र
2	Vaishakha	वैशाख
3	Jyeshtha	ज्येष्ठ
4	Ashadha	आषाढ़
5	Shravana	श्रावण
6	Bhadrapada	भाद्रपद
7	Ashwin	आश्विन
8	Kartik	कार्तिक
9	Margashirsha	मार्गशीर्ष
10	Pausha	पौष
