this is freaking confusing!! If you publish something kindly mention one date as per HINDU CALENDER, not as per the regions!
there are nearly a dozen Hindu Calendars in India. So i guess what this blog did is the best way of putting it.
THE ALMANAC'S DIFFER - ONE MATHEMATICAL AND THE OTHER ROUGH OR MANUAL CALCULATION.SOME REGIONS/SECT OBSERVE 22ND AND SOME ON 23RD AS PER THEIR HERITAGE/CULTURE/FAMILY TRADITION-WHATEVER NAME ONE CAN GIVE. UNITY IN DIVERSITY IS THE SPECIALITY OF THE HINDU'S. FOR A LAYMAN IT MAY BE CONFUSING BUT IF ONE CONSULTS HIS/HER FAMILY PRIEST/PUROHIT/ASTROLOGER ONE IS GUIDED PROPERLY. FOR THAT ONE SHOULD MAINTAIN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR FAMILY/FRIENDS/RELATIONS AND VILLAGE/TOWN HIS FAMILY GENERATION BEGAN. ONE MUST BE HAPPY TO HAVE SUCH A BLOG LIKE THIS.
Guess, its an instant info site. Precise and good. I liked the info. Thanks Much!
