A candra māna varṣa or lunar year is made up of 12 consecutive candramāsa. [5] These twelve candramāsa are designated by unique names caitra, vaiśākha, etc. [note 2] In some instances an additional candramāsa, known as an adhikamāsa, is added to synchronise the candra māna varṣa with the solar year or saura māna varṣa.
