Jain calendar
Script error: No such module "AfC submission catcheck". The Jain calendar is a lunisolar calendar, meaning that it is based on both the cycles of the moon and the sun. It is divided into 12 months, each of which has 30 days. The calendar also has an extra month every two and a half years to account for the difference between the lunar and solar years[1].
The Jain calendar is used by Jains all over the world to celebrate religious festivals and holidays. It is also used to determine auspicious days for weddings, ceremonies, and other important events.
Here is a list of the 12 months in the Jain calendar:
- Kartika
- Magasira
- Pausha
- Magha
- Phalguna
- Chaitra
- Vaisakha
- Jyeshta
- Ashadha
- Shravana
