Computing time, traditionally

The Hindu  

Scriptures contain valuable information and guidance essential for our daily lives. Thirty kashtas constitute one “Kala.” Thirty kalas are known as one “Nazhigai” — equivalent to 24 minutes.. One day consists of 60 Nazhigais, equally halved for daytime and night. Three ruthus of two months each are called “Ayanam” and two ayanams form a year —. The time unit taking the rotation of the Moon as the base is called “Chaandramaanam.” From one Amavasya to the next, it is called one month. The time unit taking the rotation of the Sun as the base is called “Souramanam”.
