One sky, many calendars

Every Indian calendar reads the same sky — the same tithis, nakshatras and sankrantis — but anchors the year differently: solar calendars (Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali, Odia) begin months at sankranti; lunar calendars begin at Amavasya (Amanta) or Purnima (Purnimanta); and eras differ (Shaka, Vikram, Kollam, Bangabda, Hijri).

That is why the same festival can carry different month names in neighbouring states, and why regional new years spread from Ugadi (Chaitra) to Puthandu and Vishu (mid-April) to Bestu Varas (after Diwali).
