Hindu Panchang also follows Moon's motion in the calculation of months. But a lunar month contains 2 or 3 days less than the standard Gregorian month. Still, Hindu Panchangs have to follow the pattern of 12 months in a year. Thus, the remaining 2 or 3 days keep on adding as additional days. Hence, after every 3 or 4 years, these days assume a magnitude of a month and that year contains 13 instead of 12. This extra month is known as Adhika Maasa. If a person is born in this month, he is uninterested in the sensual pleasures, has inclination towards virtuosity, loves performing pilgrimages, is free of diseases and loved by all.
