Gujarati Calendar:Nov 2008 Kartak-Magshar Vikram Samvat 2065
We have created a calender with Gujarati flavor
In our endeavor to cater the best that Gujaratis across the world need, we are launching Gujarai Calender consequently for second year. This year we have created a Gujarati calender in bigger size(1007X727). So that you can make a wall-paper out of it for your pc.
Some Gujaratis related affairs are added in relevant date boxes of our Gujarati calender e.g. if we take November, you will never find Sardar Patel’s Somnath rebuilding pledge making date’s reference present in any other calender or you can never ever find ‘Girnar Lili Parikrama’s reference in any other calender eventhough the fact that Parikrama is attended by over a million Gujaratis every year. We have placed these and more affairs in our Gujarati calender’s date boxes.
While making this Gujarati calender, we driven by Gujarati cultural patriotism have taken some new initiatives and liberties on our own e.g. in November, we have termed Gijubhai Badheka’s birth date as ‘Gujarati Children Day’ and Thakkarbapa’s birth date as ‘Gujarati Tribal day’.
We have also mentioned some informative details in date boxes e.g. we have added information on when Diwali school vacation ends this year in Gujarat.
Instructions for users:
All the other months pages will be released and interlinked to this page. Your suggestions are welcome.
To download November page of the calender given below, (1) Press right click of your mouse over the image of the page, (2) Select ‘Save Image As’ option, (3) Click over your selection.
To make it as a desktop wallpaper, (1)Press right click of your mouse over the image, (2) Select ‘Set as Desktop background’, (3) Click over your selection.
Wish you very best and regards

Indian Calender:An introduction
The Western calendar is based on the sun, in which a year is the time required for the earth to complete one orbit around the sun. This precisely measures 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds.
The Indian calender is ingeniously based on both the sun and the moon; it uses a solar year but divides it into 12 lunar months. A lunar month is precisely 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and 3 seconds long. Twelve such months constitute a lunar year of 354 days 8 hours 48 minutes and 36 seconds. To help the lunar months coincide with the solar year, the practice of inserting an intercalary (extra) month arose. So 60 solar months = 62 lunar months. Hence an extra month, called the Adhik Mas, is inserted every 30 months i.e. every 2 ½ years.
Lunar days in the Indian calendar are called tithis. They are calculated using the difference of the longitudinal angle between the position of the sun and moon. Because of this, tithis may vary in length. Consequently, the tithi may or may not have changed by the time the day has changed at sunrise. And that is why we find at certain times a tithi being omitted, and at certain times, two consecutive days sharing the same tithi.
In the Indian calendar, seasons follow the sun; months follow the moon; and days, both the sun and the moon. The era in the Indian calendar is called the Vikram Era, or the Vikram Samvat, which began in 57 BCE. To calculate the corresponding year of the Common Era, 57 years should be subtracted from the Indian year if the date falls between the beginning of the Indian year and the end of the Western year i.e. between Kartak sud 1 and 31 December. If the date falls between the beginning of the Western year and the end of the Indian year i.e. between 1 January and Aso vad 30, then only 56 years should be subtracted.

how would be india if every one is such constructive like this(desh gujarat)? some day we can have all computer in our language. right now we can not have facility to type in india language in easy way..
like most of computer software available for may different language. even Thai has may software in their langage.ng China has its own operating system in chinise language. but in india i don’t think you can use our language use for day to day work.
i belive that in wester countery idea of all science /development has investigated from ancient science. many american pharmacy company still visiting to village of india, africa and collecting the information about ancient medicine and base on that information they are developing mordern medicine. In india we have lot of ancient science but no one is explore it.
we have to start reasearch about indian ancient science. we have to start some courses in university for ancient inidan science..
how about if courses for Puja, yoga, mediatation , dharmic vidhi , yagna , pamistry, janmakshare, etc are teach in university.. but i am sure congress will oppose all these thing.. Because of this congress India has lost its identity. all our ancient thing has been distroyed. even india will loss all its languages too. great.. mera bharat mahan and congress is mahan then mera bharat..

If this is Gujarati calander than it should be showing birth Tithi as opposed to birth date as Jayanti. Really it does not serve any purpose to show birth date of people with no religious significance, as most people will use Gujarati calander for religious, as opposed to business or secular, purposes.
