A few clarifications: 2:28 - Strictly speaking, the Moon takes only 27.3 days to orbit the Earth. Because the Earth and the Moon are constantly moving, sunlight illuminates the Moon from a different angle every day. Therefore, to a person observing from Earth, a full Moon appears only 29.5 days after the previous full Moon. Our ancients knew this, but rounded it off to 30 days for operational convenience! 3:57 - Pope Gregory was merely fine-tuning the concept of leap year introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE. Caesar’s astronomers had "over-compensated" the leap year, because a solar year is actually 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds, not 365 days, 6 hours as approximated by them. Pope Gregory re-adjusted this overcompensation by declaring every 100th year a non-leap year, and every 400th year a leap year! Pope Gregory is therefore remembered as the “inventor” of the modern calendar!

Great work from story trails!!!! And your presentation is so clear, pleasant, and engaging. Both to the eyes & ears. Would love to see many more from you. Keep going.

As a Punjabi Hindu, I always assumed that every Hindu regardless of ethnicity celebrated the new year in the month of Vaisakha or as we Punjabi's pronounce it, Baisakh and hence the term Baisakhi (Vaisakhi). This was a very informative video!

Thanks to you both for making us understand such a complicated calendar in simple terms. Keep going!!

This was an incredibly well compiled presentation. Great work, guys!

Well done. You should certainly included great Indian ancient texts such as Surya Siddhanta and others and not just limit to Aryabhatt.

I like the presenters...Good Job. Very nice and clear diction. Makes it easy to understand too. Fascinating about the calendar❤

Great topic and video , love to see expanded version of this covering world wide calendars and time / calendar systems

Really interesting... Didn't think it was so complicated.. byt very well explained.. nice work !!

Most calendars start new year with the Chitra month. -> Tamils have Chitra month as the first month when the sun actually enters Aries. That happens around April 14. -> Bengalis and Punjabis celebrate the same but when they call it as Bihu or Baisakhi, it kinda is a misnomer because Vaisakha is the name of the 2nd month which occurs when the sun enters Taurus but the actual event is the sun entering Aries. (Possibly due to a confusion) -> New moon following Lunar calenders (Marathi, Telugu, Kannada) celebrate Chitra starting as new year but since they follow the moon for month beginnings, they concentrate on when the closest new moon is. That is why while adding the leap months every 3 years, Ugadi will coincide with Puthandu/Bihu/Baisakhi. -> Full moon following lunar calenders generally follow the rule that the month starts on full moon and the star/constellation overlapped by the moon at that point is the month. Like Full moon overlapping the Chitra star is Chitra month. Solar calenders too have taken the same months of the lunar calender but defined the beginning differently.

Happy ugadhi today is 21 of March 2023 and 22march is ugadhi✨✨

Great video. Cleared the mystery of shifting dates of seasons. We Punjabis celebrate new year on 14th March (first Punjabi month is Chet) and not 14th April which is the harvest festival of Vaisakhi (and also the start of the second month Vaisakh).

Your site is good and helpful to most of our young people who have not been taught or have forgotten our traditions and mores and the reasons for them. A video on the importance of Nakshathra and Raashi for birthdays will be helpful. To keep our traditional knowledge alive, our family celebrates the Gregorian calendar birthday with superficial trappings of cards, wishes, etc. The nakshathra birthday is celebrated with an oil bath, special traditional food, new clothes, visit to temple and elders of the family. Birthday messages are always “ Aashirvaad” and “ Dheerga Aayushman Bhava”. But let me confess, it is a hard struggle to keep the attractions of parties, friends, dinner at restaurants, and all that nonsense from swamping our own meaningful celebrations.

Odias also traditionally follow the Sun, although this calendar is unique in India as it is issued by the Gajapati ruler of Kalinga( odisha) for aeons now, according to his reign. Our new year( religious) too starts at 13-15 April each year on Pana/Mahabishubha Sankranti, where we drink Baelaw fruit( Pana) and offer it to the Sun god (Surjyaw), Sri Jagannathji and Tulasi plant, even giving it to animals and near relatives, Baelaw/Bel fruit is very auspicious in Odia culture, which is mixed with coconut, curd, Jaggery, pepper and drunk. We pray for prosperity year round. The financial new year is around September, I believe.
