About the Malayalam Calendar

The Malayalam calendar (Kollavarsham) is a solar calendar — each of its twelve months (Chingam, Kanni, Thulam, Vrischikam, Dhanu, Makaram, Kumbham, Meenam, Metam, Itavam, Mithunam, Karkatakam) begins the moment the Sun enters a new zodiac sign, with the year starting on Chingam 1 (mid-August). It lists Vishu, Onam, Thiruvathira, and temple festivals tied to this solar month cycle, for your selected location.
