Questions people ask

When does a Malayalam month begin?

On the day the Sun enters the next sign, when it enters before the Kerala cut-off — three fifths of the daylight after sunrise; when it enters later, the month begins the next day. That is why the first of Chingam or Medam moves by a day between years.

Which year is the Kollam era?

The Kollam era (Kolla Varsham) turns on Chingam 1, in mid-August. The current Kollam year is shown at the top of the page, beside the name of the year in the sixty-year cycle.

Why does the page lead with the star?

In Kerala the day is read by its nakshatram first — birthdays and temple days are kept by the star — so the star comes before the thithi here, as on a printed Malayalam calendar.

Why are the times for Thiruvananthapuram?

Every time on this page is counted from Thiruvananthapuram's own sunrise and sunset. Kochi or Kozhikode see the Sun a few minutes apart, so their Rahu Kalam and Gulika Kalam shift by those minutes. The month above is worked out for your own place.
