Lunisolar calendars combine lunar months with periodic adjustments to match the solar year, ensuring that festivals align with seasonal cycles.

This method helps farmers predict rain patterns or harvest times. Investigating these calendars reveals an intricate blend of astronomy, ecology, and tradition, illustrating how societies historically balanced the moon’s phases with the sun’s seasonal path for practical and cultural continuity.
