Meitei calendar
The Meitei calendar or Manipuri calendar or Kangleipak calendar or Maliyapham Palcha Kumshing is a lunar and sidereal calendar used by the Meitei people of Manipur for their religious as well as agricultural activities. The concept of era known as Palcha kumching or Palsa era in meitei was first developed by Emperor Maliya Phampalcha, in the year 1397 BC in the kingdom of Kangleipak in present-day Manipur. It is believed that the 2nd , 3rd , 4th , the 6th and 7th months of the Meiteis calendar were named after Poireiten's Agricultural activities. Similar to Georgian calendar, the Meitei calendar also consists of twelve months and seven days but the starting date with the English calendar is different.[1][2]
