DESCRIPTION:
The Hindu calendar, known as "Panchanga," is a traditional Indian calendar used for religious, cultural, and astrological purposes. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, the Panchanga is based on lunar months and solar years, integrating aspects of lunar and solar cycles.

Notable variations include the Tamil, Bengali, and Malayalam calendars.
The twelve standard months of Panchanga are:
