The Roof of the World, Tibet, holds a rich history and mystique. Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, it is known for its towering peaks, vast plateaus, and profound spiritual traditions.

In this segment, host Sowjanya takes us through the origin of the months of the new calendar year. Did you know there were originally only 10 months in the calendar year?

The history of the months in a calendar year can be traced back to ancient civilizations and their observations of celestial bodies. The earliest known calendars, such as the Sumerian and Egyptian calendars, were based on the cycles of the moon. The Roman calendar, introduced around the 7th century BCE, consisted of ten months, starting with March. Later, January and February were added, making it a twelve-month calendar. The names of the months have evolved over time, often honouring Roman gods and emperors. In 1582, the Gregorian calendar was introduced, refining the calculation of leap years and aligning the calendar with the solar year. Today, the months form the basis of organizing time, seasons, and various cultural and religious celebrations worldwide.
