The Hindu Calendar is based on the position of Sun and Moon. There are a total number of 12 months, which are based on the transit of Sun from one Zodiac Sign to another. Each month is divided into two Paksha-- Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of Moon) and Krishna Paksha (waning phase of Moon). According to Hindu Calendar, a day can be determined in two ways - Solar Day (also known as Divas) and Lunar Day (also known as Tithi).
