- Amanta and Purnimanta: Two Ways to Count a Lunar Month In the Amanta system a lunar month ends at the new moon; in the Purnimanta system it ends at the full moon. Festival dates are identical in both; only the month label of the Krishna paksha differs.
- Adhik Maas and Kshaya Maas: Keeping the Lunar Calendar in Step An Adhik (extra) month occurs when the Sun does not change sign between two new moons; a Kshaya (omitted) month, which is very rare, occurs when it changes sign twice. Together they keep lunar months aligned with the seasons.
- Bhadra (Vishti Karana): What It Is and Why It Matters Bhadra is the Vishti karana, one of the half-tithi units of the Panchang. It recurs about eight times a lunar month, and tradition locates it in one of three lokas depending on the Moon’s sign.
- Panchak: Meaning, Timing and Traditional Practice Panchak is the period when the Moon moves through sidereal Kumbha and Meena, covering five nakshatras from the second half of Dhanishta to Revati. It lasts about four and a half days and recurs roughly once a lunar month.
- Tithi: The Lunar Day Explained A tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun. Thirty tithis form a lunar month, split into the bright and dark fortnights.
