Which one of the following months of the Gregorian calendar corresponds with Asvina-Kartika months of the Indian calendar?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

The Indian National Calendar (Saka Era), officially adopted in 1957, consists of 12 months. The months Asvina and Kartika are the seventh and eighth months of this calendar, respectively. Together, they constitute the Sharad Ritu (Autumn season).

In the Gregorian calendar, the correspondence is as follows:

  • Asvina: Typically begins on September 23 and ends on October 22.
  • Kartika: Typically begins on October 23 and ends on November 21.

In most competitive examinations and standard cultural mappings, the pair Asvina-Kartika is equated to the Gregorian months of September-October. This period is culturally significant in India as it marks the transition from the monsoon to winter and includes major festivals such as Durga Puja and the beginning of the Diwali festivities.
