There is an inexpensive commercial program which calculates the
Tithi(s), festival dates, etc., as well as many Jyotish charts and
tables. Please let me know if more information is required. If
the reference is to the "National Calendar" which uses the Shaka
Era, then the following conversions apply:
Shaka Year = Gregorian Year C.E. minus 78 (March - December)
Shaka Year = Gregorian Year C.E. minus 79 (January - March)
The months, their duration and starting dates in the Gregorian
Calendar are listed below:
=== National Calendar of Bharat =========
Serial Duration Begins on
Number Name Days Gregorian
===================== Leap ===== Leap ===
1 Chaitr 30 31 March 21 22 When divided by 4
2 Vaishaakh 31 April 21 National Calendar
3 Jyaeshtth 31 May 22 leap years leave a
4 Ashadh 31 June 22 remainder of 2
5 Shraavan 31 July 23
6 Bhadra 31 August 23
7 Ashwin 30 September 23
8 Krittik 30 October 23
9 Agrahayan 30 November 22
10 Paush 30 December 22
11 Maagh 30 January 21
12 Phalgun 30 February 20
