How does the Kannada Calendar work?
The Kannada Calendar follows Chandramana (amanta) lunar months, each ending on Amavasya; the samvatsara begins at Ugadi. Each month has a Shukla (bright) and Krishna (dark) paksha of about fifteen tithis, and an Adhika masa is added about every three years to stay in step with the seasons. The samvatsara changes on Ugadi (Chaitra Shukla Pratipada), and the same sixty-year cycle is used in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Festivals still follow the lunar tithi, so their dates move each year.
