The Tula month is called Aipassi in the Tamil Hindu calendar. [1] The ancient and medieval era Sanskrit texts of India vary in their calculations about the duration of Tula, just like they do with other months. For example, the Surya Siddhanta, dated to c. 400 CE, calculates the duration of Tula to be 29 days, 21 hours, 26 minutes and 24 ...
where n is the number of days after or before the winter solstice, and one muhurta equals 1 ⁄ 30 of a day (48 minutes).

It stands to reason that during the original naming of these months—whenever that happened—they were indeed based on the nakshatras that coincided with them in some manner.

This is sometimes described as an inaccurate estimate of our modern sidereal period of 27.3 days, but using the ancient Indian calendar with Vedic months of 30 days and a daily movement of the Moon of 13 degrees, this early designation of a sidereal month of 831 Muhurtas ...
As seen above, both the cāndra māna and sāvana māna of the calendar define the concept of a day as tithi and dina respectively. dina are not named and are not used for calendric purposes. The tithi takes precedence instead. [4] [note 10] Human life is regulated by the rising of the Sun and not by the movement of the Moon through a 12° arc.
Because 210 is not divisible by 4, 8, or 9, extra days must be added to the 4-, 8-, and 9-day weeks. For both the 4- and 8-day weeks, the penultimate day of the week is repeated twice in the week that would have otherwise ended on the 72nd day. For the 9-day week, the first day of the week is repeated 3 times in the first week of the 210-day ...
