Hi Gerard,
As far as I know some sects of Kannadigas also follow the 60 year
cycle of Telugu calendar.

Hoi,
'There is a "Tamil calendar" like there is also a Malayalam, Nepali and
Bengali calendar. What I have done is I have added the months. It would help
when you check it out [1]. You can appreciate that I do not speak any of the
languages from India :)
My advise is to first add your #babel info on your Wikidata profile. This
makes life easier :) it shows you the labels in the language that you
know.You can modify it from the one on my profile [2]
I am currently adding the sixty years that exist in the Telugu calendar. As
I understand things, these years start on different dates compared with
other calendars. As a consequence these sixty items are specific to the
Telugu calendar. This means that for other languages these 60 items may need
to be created as well.
Really soon now, we will be able to state how many days exist in a month
..For the Indian calendars it is much better when you add such
information.The same is true for the English names; in the English Wikipedia
the names are often written in a spelling that may help with pronunciation
but are not written in this way by anyone I know. So please check this as
well and modify to make the names more real. Obviously when you know a name
for a year, a month in any of the other Indian languages please add these as
well.
What you can do as well is add the Tamil name for this article [3] in
Wikidata. When you do you can find it in the Tamil extended search.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
I blogged about calendars. The problem I face is that I am adding
statements to the calendars in use in India.. I have worked on the Nepali
and the Bengali calendar and, I find that in the English Wikipedia some
months are merged into one article.
What I want to know is if these months exactly are at the same time or
not. Many calendars have special days. It would make sense to have an item
for them as well. I assume that many of the Indian Wikipedias have articles
for such events. It will help when they are known to be part of a specific
calendar..
Are there people who can help me with this ?
Thanks,
GerardM
