A lunar day is uniquely identified by three calendar elements: [[Astronomical basis of the Hindu calendar#chandramasa|''māsa'']] (lunar month), [[Astronomical basis of the Hindu calendar#paksha|''pakṣa'']] (lunar fortnight) and [[Astronomical basis of the Hindu calendar#tithi|''tithi'']] (lunar day).
-Furthermore, when specifying the masa, one of two traditions are applicable, viz. [[Hindu calendar#amanta|''amānta'']] / [[Hindu calendar#purnimanta|''pūrṇimānta'']]. If a festival falls in the waning phase of the moon, these two traditions identify the same lunar day as falling in two different (but successive) masa.

 A lunar year is shorter than a solar year by about eleven days. As a result, most Hindu festivals occur on different days in successive years on the Gregorian calendar.
