About the Malayalam calendar
The Malayalam calendar (Kollavarsham, the Kollam Era) is a solar calendar. A month begins when the Sun enters a sidereal sign, counted from the same day if that happens in the first three-fifths of daytime. The year begins on Chingam 1 in mid-August.
Tithi and nakshatra are those running at sunrise in Thiruvananthapuram; the moon shape is for 8 PM. Printed almanacs can differ by a day where a tithi or sankranti falls close to the cut-off, so check your local panchang for important dates.
