The New Year Calendar

Happy Ugadi, Gudi Padva, Cheti Chand, Baisakhi, Puthandu and Sajibu Cheiraoba!!!!!

The Indian New Year marks the beginning of a 'new era'. The lunisolar calendar begins on 'Chaitra Shudha Padayami'  or the first day of the bright half of the Indian month of Chaitra. The start of the New Year is based on  lunar calculations. It starts on the first new moon after Sun crosses the equator from South to North on Spring Equinox. 

These colouful 'lunisolar' calendars' are unlike the typical Gregorian one. They are made up of unique properties.The day starts at sunrise and each month is divided in to two sets to depict the cycle of the moon from the new moon till the full moon. The end of the lunar month coincides with a new moon. Hence there is no running number from the first to the last day of the month. The script is Devnagari and Kannada and is an ideal gift for the Indian New Year. Place your order today!! They are also available on www.itshandmade.in
