- The Gregorian calendar is based on the earth’s revolution as it circles the sun, while the Hindu calendar is based on the moon’s movement around the earth.
- In the Gregorian calendar, each of the 12 months has 30 or 31 days, while the months in the Hindu calendar have just 28 days.
- The Hindu calendar adds an extra month, known as the Adhik Mas, to the year after every 30 months to cater for the loss of additional days because its years constitute of 28-day months
