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!

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!
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.
Not only Maharashtra and Karnataka but Sindhi people also celebrate new year on Chaitra Shukla pratipada. The day is observed as cheti chand in honour of Baba Jhulelal who is believed to be the reincarnation of Varun Dev.

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.

6:00 For Gujaratis, the new year is on Diwali. They follow a certain variation of Vikram Samvat Calendar, where the first month is Kārtika. For us, Bhojpuriyas (people of western Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh), new year is on Holi, where we follow the variation of Vikram Samvat Calendar where the first month is Chaitra.
I'm an Indo-Mauritian and as Bhojpuri people, we celebrate diwali but not as new year. So I was quite confused when I kept hearing western media call it our new year

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.
Really enjoyed this video. Looking at the title I answered myself 'few follow solar and few lunar. That's all na' But as I started to watch it brought out so many different aspects. Absolutely interesting and very informative 👍 👏 👌

Great video with one crucial big factual miss - Diwali is not the new year for majority of North Indians it is in fact same day as gudi padwa and ugadi and is called Chaitra Pratipada which follows Vikram Samvat. It is also the beginning of Chaitra Navratra culminating on Ram Navami.
Great analysis, you covered uttarayana, but you also missed pushkarams which would adjust all these days and times in every 12 years - the Hindu calendar has great logic - love to learn
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.
Our Maithili New Year also starts on 14th April ~ we eat Basi Bhaat and Bori on that day while stoves are given rest for whole day. We water plants , sprinkle Achin-jol on every thing around us.
@@aritrabhattacharyya8797its actually popular all over eastern India, thats not the point. Point is religiously, bael fruit is auspicious as its a symbol of the sun and lord Jagannatha, which is unique to Odia culture. And what is morabba?i havent eaten it, so cant comment. Edit- We call it Ambabattaw, battaw/sawdha is used for murabba like items, in Odia. Murabba is not native Odia term.
@@akashdhar9412in Odisha, the financial year starts in September( Bhadrapada shukla dwadasi) and the day is called Sunian in Odia( literally zero, empty in Odia). Religious Odia year is called Utkaliyasanaw.

Good one ❤
Excellent information!
Great analysis, you covered uttarayana, but you also missed pushkarams which would adjust all these days and times in every 12 years - the Hindu calendar has great logic - love to learn
Anytime I need a Hindu calendar I fly to Nepal and stay for a yuga or two.
I ❤🇳🇵🙏🏼
you are very impressive mr kamalakara!
Very good. Excellent
Thank you Sir.
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.
Financial new year starts from April. Every year on 31st March bank account books are closed and reopened on 1st April
Bel Pana is popular in Bengal too. My father drinks it every day in summer, and eats Bel Morobba in winters.
Our Maithili New Year also starts on 14th April ~ we eat Basi Bhaat and Bori on that day while stoves are given rest for whole day.
We water plants , sprinkle Achin-jol on every thing around us.
@@aritrabhattacharyya8797its actually popular all over eastern India, thats not the point. Point is religiously, bael fruit is auspicious as its a symbol of the sun and lord Jagannatha, which is unique to Odia culture. And what is morabba?i havent eaten it, so cant comment.
Edit- We call it Ambabattaw, battaw/sawdha is used for murabba like items, in Odia.
Murabba is not native Odia term.
@@akashdhar9412in Odisha, the financial year starts in September( Bhadrapada shukla dwadasi) and the day is called Sunian in Odia( literally zero, empty in Odia).
Religious Odia year is called Utkaliyasanaw.
