The Hindu calendar based on the movement of the moon is known as lunar calendar. This particular has 12 months but these months are different from western solar calendar (calendar based on the movement of the sun). According to the Western calendar, our earth takes one year to complete one revolution around the sun’s orbit. However, the Hindu calendar divides the solar year by the subdivisions of lunar months. Let us find out more about Hindu Janmashtami calendar.
Janmashtami calendar dates are decided as per the Hindu calendar. According to the Hindu calendar, lunar months are further divided on the basis of ‘bright half’ and the ‘dark half’. Bright half refers to the time span from a new moon to full moon whereas dark half refers to the time span between a full moon and the next moon. There is a difference between the shorter lunar and the longer solar calendar. For this, the dates of various Hindu festivals keep on changing.
