Understanding the Malayalam Calendar
A reader-friendly overview of a calendar woven into Kerala's seasons, cultural life, and observances.
This introductory article is draft educational content. It avoids undocumented temple-specific claims and should be reviewed with trusted sources before formal publication.
The Malayalam calendar is used across Kerala alongside the Gregorian calendar. Month names and observance dates remain part of everyday cultural vocabulary, particularly around festivals, agriculture, and temple life.
This site deliberately keeps Gregorian date navigation separate from religious almanac data. Malayalam dates, nakshatram, and observances will appear only after a trusted calendar source is connected and verified.
