Mesha (month)

Meṣa, or Mesha (मेष), is a month in the Indian solar calendar.

[1] The ancient and medieval era Sanskrit texts of India vary in their calculations about the duration of Mesha, just like they do with other months.

For example, the Surya Siddhanta calculates the duration of Mesha to be 30 days, 22 hours, 26 minutes and 48 seconds.

[5] In contrast, the Arya Siddhanta calculates the duration of Mesha to be 30 days 22 hours 12 minutes.

[5] Mesha is also an astrological sign in Indian horoscope systems, corresponding to Aries.
