The Hindu Lunar Year starts from the Equinoctial Black Moon ( New Moon). I call it Black Moon because New Moon is called Karutha Vavu, Black Moon,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lunar month is considered as the difference between New Moons. It is 29.5 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and a Lunar Year is 354 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Chaitra is the FIrst Month and Second is Vaisakha .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
