Sindhi Tipano

Hindu/ Sindhi year is composed of twelve lunar months [lunar month is the time taken by moon to revolve around the earth]. Every sindhi month starts with Chandu [New Moon Day]. Throughout the sindhi year every third month is considered more fruitful for religious activities and known as “Dharamau Mahino” for instant Kati (Kartik) month is more beneficial for religious activities and Maanghu (Maagh) coming two months (Nahri, Pohu) after it is also a Dharamau Mahino. Every third year is called Purshotam year with 13 months (additional month is named as the original one).
After every 11 years this additional month is considered more fruitful and hence Kumbh Mela is celebrated after 12 years.
Let us consider some definitions:

Solar Day: The time between two consecutive risings of the sun.
Lunar Day: The time between two consecutive risings of the moon – this time period is also pronounced as Tith
Shukla Paksha [Bright fortnight]: Starts with Chandu [new moon] and ends on Satnarayan in sindhi and Poornima in Hindi [Full moon Day]
Krishna Paksha [Dark Fortnight] During this fortnight apparent size of moon shows a gradual decline till the day of Amavasya [No Moon night] which is the last day of the month.
Auspicious time of the day
Day and night, each is divided into 15 Mahurats, though there is difference for the time period of each Mahurat but on average one Mahurat means about 48 minutes. Hindu day starts with Braham Mahurat, just before the dawn, first two Mahurats of the day are treated as the auspicious time of the day and considered most favorable for spiritual practices. The last Mahurat of the day [Before the sunset] is utilised for the religious rituals since the Vedic era.
Sindhi new year starts with Chandu of Chaitu month – the day is celebrated as the birthday of sindhi deity Jhulelal throughout the world. According to Hindu calendar new year begins on the day of entrance of Sun into Makar Raas [Capricorn] the day is celebrated Makar Sankranti. This is the only Hindu Festival which often falls on same date, that is 13th January.
