National Indian Calendar

Posted by Kunthra

The Gregorian calendar is used alongside the national Indian calendar. Like the solar calendar, the Indian calendar has tweleve months. There used to be dozens and dozens of Indian calendars all centered around each region’s religious festivals. Luckily, now there is only one standard Indian calendar. I have the Indian month which corresponds to a Gregorian month, so that you have some idea of when the Indian months take place.

Chaitra (चैत्र) starts around March 21

Vaisakha (वैशाख) starts April 21

Jyeshta (ज्येष्ठ) May 22

Aashaadha (आषाढ) June 22

Shraavana (श्रावण) July 23

Bhadrapada (भाद्रपद) August 23

Ashwin (अश्विन्) September 23

Kartik (कार्तिक) October 23

Margashirsha (मार्गशीर्ष) November 22

Pausha (पौष) December 22

Magh (माघ) Janurary 21

Phalguna (फाल्गुन) February 20
