Origin of Indian Calendar

Indian National Calendar, also called as Shalivahana Shaka Calendar is broadly used for news broadcasting purposes alongside Gregorian Calendar. After a survey conducted by Calendar Reform Committee during 1950s, it was concluded that around 30 different calendars were being used to set Hindu, Buddhist and Jain festivals.

They found that these calendars were based on similar principles though prepared as per ancient customs and astronomical practices. On the other hand, the Islamic calendar was used by Muslims in India along with the Indian Government using a Gregorian calendar for administrative purposes. Hereby, due to Calendar Reform 1957 C.E., a formalized and structured lunisolar calendar was finalized as the National Calendar of India, where leap years corresponded with those mentioned in the Gregorian calendar.

Despite numerous attempts to create a unified platform, there still exist several local variations. Government still uses the Gregorian calendar for administrative purposes and holidays are observed as per regional, ethnic, and religious beliefs and traditions.

On an ethical front, astrologers use Panchang or Panchangam (Hindu Calendar based on Lunar Calendar) to fix the marriage date and provide auspicious muhurat after horoscope matching is done.

The National Calendar is an advanced modification of Indian Solar Calendars still existing in the regions. The principle unit remains the civil day and era is the Saka era. It is structured so as to correspond with the Tropical or Sayana year and not traditional Sidereal or Nirayana year.

Religious holidays are based on the lunisolar calendar which acknowledges specific positions of the Moon and Sun. The majority of festivals and holidays occur on a mentioned lunar tithi (date) while others on solar this.

Lunar Calendar is witnessed as the main element when providing predictions in Vedic Astrology or calculating muhurat, festivals and so on, planet Sun has its own significance. A Solar Calendar narrates the apparent position of the planet Sun in the universe. One such example is the Gregorian Calendar, which is used internationally and counted as the standard tool. In astrology, a solar month describes the position of the Sun’s longitude to increase during the interval by 30 degrees corresponding to its passage through a zodiac sign.

Types of Calendar

• The Solar Calendars: The calendar is based on the motion of the sun on a yearly basis, sidereal or tropical. Some famous examples are French, Gregorian, Roman calendars, and Indian Solar Calendars used in the areas of Assam, Bengal, Haryana, Kerala, Punjab, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, and Tripura. An actual solar calendar doesn’t consist of a number of days, hence in order to synchronize, days are summed up, and leap years are formed. Indian National Calendar comes under this category.
• The Lunar Calendars: It is based on the monthly phases of the Moon and its cycle and isn’t related to the motion of the Sun whatsoever. Islamic Hejira Calendar is one such example and a purely lunar calendar. It consists of 12 months, with 2 months covering the time period between two new moons. Each Lunar month is about 29.5 days long.
• The Lunisolar Calendar: It accumulates the yearly motion of the Sun and monthly phases of the Moon. some examples are Jews and Babylonian calendars along with Indian Calendars used in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh.
