To whosoever intends to edit this page,
This page is not about the Hindu religion or the Hindu culture. This is a technical page. Pls maintain rigor, precision and brevity when you edit this page. Before editing this page, my request is that you discuss the changes you would like to make in this talk page. That way, we can maintain the soundness of the information on this page.
Some observations:
- I have used IAST to transliterate the many sanskrit terms on this page. I have used https://www.learnsanskrit.cc to look-up each sanskrit term and obtain its IAST transliteration.
- The Hindu calendar has many long (greater than a varsha) and short (less than a tithi/dina) timeframes. I have not explained them in this page since they are not derived from planetary motions and also they are not in regular calendric use today.
- The sequence in which the terms are introduced has been well thought out. If you would like to change the sequence, pls discuss in this talk page before doing so.
