Hindu's calendar or 'panchang' is based on lunisolar,
taking into account, movements of Moon and Sun both.
As the solar calendar has one extra day in the leap year,
As in the solar calendar, the extra period accumulated,
becomes a day, and in the leap year it is added.
In Lunar one, the accumulated period becomes a month,
and after every three years, one full month is repeated.
The extra month of the lunar leap year is 'adhik-maas'
this month is also known as 'khar-maas' or a 'mal-maas'.
This 'adhik-maas' is considered not to be good,
for the new projects, weddings or auspicious tasks.
There are three hundred fifty-four days, twenty-two ghati
in every year, in the calendar based on lunar.
The short fall of ten and half days as compared to solar,
is adjusted as 'adhik-maas' after every three years.
The Hindu calendar or 'Panchang' has further intricacies,
that includes studies of movements of other stars and planets.
Those studies help in deciding the Hindu's festivals,
the astrology and on the human life, what're the effects.
