Tamil calendar system
The Sanskrit months above would start one month ahead of Tamil months since the Tamil calendar is a solar calendar while the Sanskrit calendar is a lunisolar calendar.
Counting from the start of the Kali Yuga, with its epoch on February 18, 3102 BC Julian (January 23, 3102 BC Gregorian), based on Aryabhata (6th century)
Year Kaliyuga - Current year = 5117 (14 April 2015 A.D to 13 April 2016 A.D.) கலியுகம் ௫௲௱௰௭௵ - ௫௲௱௰௭ - 5*1000+100+10+7=5117
Kali Yuga started in 3102 BC. So add 3102 with 2015 A.D. = 5117. Kaliyuga for 1014A.D. (3102 + 1014) = 4016 ௪௲௱௰௬௵ ; Kaliyuga for 985 A.D. (3102 + 985) = 4087 ௪௲௱௮௰௭௵
Month = ௴
௧ (சித்திரை) mid-April to mid-May, ௨ (வைகாசி) mid-May to mid-June, ௩ (ஆனி) mid-June to mid-July, ௪ (ஆடி) mid-July to mid-August, ௫ (ஆவணி) mid-August to mid-September, ௬ (புரட்டாசி) mid-September to mid-October, ௭ (ஐப்பசி) mid-October to mid-November, ௮ (கார்த்திகை) mid-November to mid-December, ௯ (மார்கழி) mid-December to mid-January, ௰ (தை) mid-January to mid-February, ௰௧ (மாசி) mid-February to mid-March, ௰௨ (பங்குனி) mid-March to mid-April.
Date: Example: ௧௳ ௧௴ (சித்திரை) மன்மத ௵ / கலியுகம் ௫௲௱௰௭௵ Day 01 Month 01 (Chithirai) 29th Tamil Cyclic year Manmadha (2015 - 2016) / Kaliyugam Year 5117
Thiruvalluvar Aandu (Calendar):
Thiruvalluvar was born thirty one (31) years before Lord Jesus Christ. Hence it was decided to add 31 years to the English year and adopt that as the Tamil year called Thiruvalluvar Aandu.
Example: 2015 + 31 years = 2046
Hindu Calendar
| Hindu calendars | |

| - Shaka Samvat | 1937–1938 |
| - Kali Yuga | 5116–5117 |
The Saka era (also known as the Shalivahana Saka era; ) is a historical calendar era, corresponding to Julian year 78. The Saka era is ostensibly the date of accession of the Kushan emperor Kanishka. With a number of religious calendars in use in India, the Indian government in 1957 adopted a National Calendar
of India for civil purposes and a standardised computation of the religious calendar based on astronomical
observations. The civil calendar is based on the Shalivahana lunisolar calendar with a New Year's day festival
called Ugadi in the Deccan region of India and Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra state.
Years in the Indian calendar are counted from the start of the Saka Era, the
equinox of March 22nd of year 79 in the Gregorian calendar, designated day 1 of
month Caitra of year 1 in the Saka Era. Days begin at sunrise. The calendar was officially adopted on 1
Caitra, 1879 Saka Era, or March 22nd, 1957 Gregorian. Since year 1 of the Indian
calendar differs from year 1 of the Gregorian, to determine whether a year in
the Indian calendar is a leap year, add 78 to the year of the Saka era then
apply the Gregorian calendar rule to the sum.
Example: 2015 - 78 = 1937
Example: Salivahana year 1347 + 78 = 1425 Corresponding Julian Calendar year
Vikram Samvat (Calendar):
The origin of Hindu New Year relates to the legendary Hindu King Vikramaditya in 57 BC. Samvat calendar is 56.7 years ahead (in count) of the solar Gregorian calendar. Hence it was decided to add 57 years to the English year and adopt that as the Vikram Samyat (Calendar). It is a lunar calendar based on ancient Hindu tradition (Hindu calendar and Vedic time keeping)
Example: 2015+56 years = 2071
