A must-read for calendar enthusiasts at any level, it is the first book in the world that explains how adhik maas (the intercalary month) was decided in the Vedic era. The book discusses all the calendar issues and key constituents of Indian calendar before providing the concrete guidelines for resolving the calendar anomalies. Apart from addressing questions like ‘Can we use the tropical rashi ingress for Chaitra etc. months?’, sufficiently backed with academic and logical support, the book provides the Author's take on key festivals and rituals in the final chapter. In addition, two exclusive chapters on the relevant inputs from the author’s other two works ‘The Unanswered’ and ‘Taming the Untamed’ are included in the book to help readers find everything needed at one place.
