In the Hindu lunisolar calendar, Pausha begins with either the full or new moon around the same time of year. Since the traditional Hindu calendar follows the lunar cycle, Pausha's start and end dates vary from year to year, unlike the months of the Hindu solar calendars. Pausha is a winter (Hemanta and Shishira Ritu) month.[2][3] The lunar month of Pausha overlaps with the solar month of Dhanu.[4][5]
