Kaartika
Kaartika (Hindi: कातिक kaatik or कार्तिक kaartik) is a month of the Hindu calendar. In India's national civil calendar, Kaartika is the eighth month of the year, beginning on 23 October and ending on 21 November.
In lunar religious calendars, Kaartik may begin on either the new moon or the full moon around the same time of year, and is usually the eighth month of the year. However, in Gujarat, the year begins on Divali, so Kaartik is the first month of the year for Gujaratis.
In solar religious calendars, Kaartik begins with the Sun's entry into Libra, and is usually the seventh month of the year.
