HOW TO READ THIS CALENDAR This is a Hindu Kartiki Calendar specially designed for Fiji and New Zealand. A month begins with Pratipada of Shukla Paksha as per Shukladi system of calculation. There are ten columns on each page. These are as follows from left: Tithi, Time, Nakshatra, Time, Rashi, Time, Date, Day, Auspicious Day and notes. Ending time for Tithi, Nakshatra and Rashi are given in hours and minutes. (e.g.: 15.23 is 3.23pm and 27.40 is 3.40am of the next day.) Tithi, Nakshatra and Rashi time are given in Fiji Standard Time according to rules and with referance from Dharma Sindhu, an authoritative book for Tithi calculation. These Tithi are equally effective for New Zealand. Deduct 2 hours to convert it to Australian time. Daylight saving time should be adjusted accordingly. Those who follow CHAITRI CALENDAR should note the following. In Chaitri calendar a month begins with Pratipada of Krishna Paksha. This means a month changes at Krishna Paksha and not at Shukla Paksha as shown in this calendar. Therefore you need to change a month at Krishna Paksha. (e.g.: Posh Krishna will become Magh Krishna and so on) Compiled by: Manhar Narsey (for further information - ph: 9916329) ECLIPSES: There are four eclipses in 2015 as follows.
