This calendar lists major Hindu festivals celebrated in year 2022 with Gregorian & Tamil Hindu dates.

The #TamilNewYear which starts on Chitirai 1(Apr 14 2022) is called as 'சுபகிருது வருடம்' .

60 Year cycle is followed in Hindu calendar system, this corresponds to a Hindu century.

After completion of sixty years, the calendar starts a new with the first year 'பிரபவ'

60 year cycle is calculated based on 2 major planets Saturn (sani) which takes 30 years and Jupiter (Viyazhan) which takes 12 years respectively to complete 1 cycle around the Sun.

It takes 60 years for these planets to come to the same position.
Sat 30x2=60
Jup 12x5=60

FYI: Tamil months start and end based on the Sun's shift from one Rasi to the other, but the names of the months are based on the star on the start of Pournami in that month. The name of the month is some times the name of the star itself.
