Discovering Hindu Timekeeping and Nature-Aligned Festivals
The Hindu calendar is a fascinating system based on precise calculations that align human life with nature. With a combination of lunar and solar cycles, this calendar syncs each month’s lunar phases with seasonal changes. This structure helps time Hindu festivals with natural cycles, fostering a deep bond between spirituality and the environment. Celebrations like Makar Sankranti and Diwali are timed according to seasonal and cosmic shifts, emphasizing the alignment of human tradition with the rhythms of nature.
