Frequently asked questions about Assamese Panjika
What is the Bhaskarabda?
The Assamese era, counted from the reign of Bhaskaravarman in the seventh century, some 593 or 594 years behind the Common Era, turning in mid-April at the Mesha Sankranti.
What are the Assamese months?
Bohag, Jeth, Ahar, Xaon, Bhado, Ahin, Kati, Aghun, Puh, Magh, Fagun and Sot - solar months, assigned to the day after the Sankranti as in the Bengali rule.
Which days does an Assamese household look for?
The three Bihus - Bohag, Kati and Magh - with Goru Bihu before Bohag; Ambubachi at Kamakhya; the Xaon and Kati lamp observances; Janmashtami in the naamghar; and the tithis of Srimanta Sankardev and Madhavdev. The Assamese calendar lists them across the year.
What is Ambubachi?
The three days in Ahar when the Kamakhya temple closes, taken as the goddess\'s period of retreat, after which the doors reopen and prasad is distributed. The Panjika marks the dates each year since they follow the almanac, not the Gregorian date.
Does it show the day's timings?
No - the yearly listing carries the tithi, nakshatra and festival of each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and the shubh windows of one day, use the daily Panchang.
