The Sanskrit terms for 60 Year, Month , Tithi , Nakshathram

Share




The 60-year cycle of the Tamil Calendar is followed in TamilNadu and also found in many North and South Indian traditional calendars, with the same name and sequence of years.

Its earliest reference is to be found in Surya Siddhanta, which Varahamihirar (550 CE) believed to be the most accurate of the then current theories of astronomy. However, in the Surya Siddhantic list, the first year was Vijaya and not Prabhava as currently used.

After the completion of sixty years, the calendar starts anew with the first year. This corresponds to the Hindu "century." The Vakya or Tirukannitha Panchangam (the traditional Tamil almanac) outlines this sequence.

The following list presents the current 60-year cycle of the Tamil calendar:
