Parsi Calendar

The Parsi Calendar is a traditional calendar used by Zoroastrians, primarily in India, based on the ancient Persian calendar. It combines lunar and solar elements to track months and years, reflecting both lunar phases and the solar year. The calendar's structure includes 12 months, with adjustments like leap years to keep in sync with the seasons. Important Zoroastrian festivals are dated according to this calendar. It’s distinct from the Gregorian calendar and maintains cultural and religious significance, preserving the timing of rituals and celebrations rooted in ancient Persian traditions.
