Compare two lunar month naming systems
Amanta and Purnimanta do not always assign the same month name to the same civil date. This table displays both supported month labels alongside Paksha, month classification and the returned Tamil solar date, using the selected city’s sunrise-based calendar context.
Keep special month labels visible
Where returned, Adhika labels and the lunar-month classification remain visible. A difference between month systems is not silently treated as a calculation error, and lunar month labels are not substituted for the separate solar month and day.
Read the selected month as one consistent projection
The report uses the declared regional lunar/solar projection profile. Signed-in generation saves the month, city and returned comparison. It does not claim that displaying both systems resolves every region’s festival priority or ritual convention.
How to use this calculator
- Select the calculation date and city, or choose the month or date range shown in the form.
- Complete the visible activity settings. If this tool requires a birth profile, select the correct person; calculation city and birthplace are separate.
- Generate the report. Signed-in reports save with their settings; unavailable or excluded windows remain clearly labelled.
Frequently asked questions
Why do Amanta and Purnimanta month names differ?
They use different lunar-month boundaries. The table shows both supported labels rather than forcing them into one name.
Is the Tamil solar date the same as a lunar month date?
No. It is a separate solar-calendar field displayed alongside the lunar references.
Will an Adhika month be hidden or renamed?
No. Returned Adhika labels and month classifications remain visible in the report.
