A lunar day is uniquely identified by three calendar elements: [[Astronomical basis of the Hindu calendar#chandramasa|&#039;&#039;māsa&#039;&#039;]] (lunar month), [[Astronomical basis of the Hindu calendar#paksha|&#039;&#039;pakṣa&#039;&#039;]] (lunar fortnight) and [[Astronomical basis of the Hindu calendar#tithi|&#039;&#039;tithi&#039;&#039;]] (lunar day).<br /> <br /> Furthermore, when specifying the masa, one of two traditions are applicable, viz. [[Hindu calendar#amanta|&#039;&#039;amānta&#039;&#039;]] / [[Hindu calendar#purnimanta|&#039;&#039;pūrṇimānta&#039;&#039;]]. [[Iff]] a festival falls in the waning phase of the moon, these two traditions identify the same lunar day as falling in two different (but successive) masa.<br /> <br /> A lunar year is shorter than a solar year by about eleven days. As a result, most Hindu festivals occur on different days in successive years on the Gregorian calendar.<br /> }}<br /> }}&lt;noinclude&gt;<br /> {{Documentation}}<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
