Significance
The calendar dictates the dates for agriculture, festivals, and weddings. Mithila has a unique system of 'Saurath Sabha' where marriages are negotiated based on genealogical records (Panji Prabandh), often checked against the Panchang.
Structure
It is a Lunisolar calendar. The dates are calculated based on the position of the moon. However, the New Year (Jur Sital) is solar, marking the sun's entry into Aries (Mesh).
Distinctive Features
- Tropical Solar
Unlike many lunisolar calendars, the Maithili year begins on 'Mesh Sankranti' (mid-April), aligning with the sun's entry into Aries.
- Astrological Precision
It dictates the exact timings for 'Saurath Sabha', where marriages are settled based on 'Panji' (genealogical records).
