"Garvi Jantri" (ગરવી જંત્રી) is a traditional lunar calendar widely used in the state of Gujarat, India. The term "Garvi" translates to "proud" or "grand," reflecting the cultural richness associated with the calendar, while "Jantri" means "almanac" or "calendar." Unlike the standard Gregorian solar calendar, the Garvi Jantri is based on the movements of the moon (lunar cycles) and is deeply intertwined with Hindu astrology, religious observances, agricultural planning, and the scheduling of festivals.
