When Sun
enters Aries (Mesha) a new Indian solar year begins - Mesha Sankranti. A solar
month is completed when the Sun moves 30� in orbit. The Sun enters each of the
next 12 signs thereafter and Sun's entry in each sign is a Sankranti. Names of
solar months follow the signs -
Mesha, Vrishabha, Mithuna, Karkata, Simha,
Kanya, Tula
Vrischika, Dhanus, Makara, Kumbha, Mina.
Sankranti takes
place at an instant of time that may be during the day or night. The rules for
beginning of a new month (day) are varied in different parts of India. This
Panchang follows the so-called sunset Rule - that is if the Sankranti occurs
before sunset, the next month starts the same day. If it occurs after sunset,
the new month starts the next day. The number of days in a solar month depends
on when the next Sankranti takes place. The number of days vary - 29, 30, 31, or
32 depending on the moment of the next Sankranti.
