Concept of ADHIK MASS in in Lunar Calender-
The lunar calendar is based on the moon's rotation around the Earth. The lunar month corresponds to one complete rotation of Moon around the Earth. Since this period of rotation of moon around the earth varies, the duration of lunar month also varies. On average, the lunar month has about 29 ½ days. In addition to moon's rotation around the earth, the lunar year is based on earth's rotation around the Sun. In general, the lunar year has twelve lunar months of approximately 354 days, thus making it shorter by about 11 days than the solar year. However, the lunar calendar accounts for this difference by adding an extra lunar month about once every 2½ years. This extra lunar month is known as the "Adhik Mas" in India (Adhik means extra and the Mas means month). The concept of placing of the extra month, meaning why and when should it be inserted between certain lunar months is as follow.

What is the major difference between the Jewish calendar and the Gregorian calendar?
The Gregorian calendar is a purely solar calendar, while the Jewish calendar is a solar-lunar calendar.

In the Jewish calendar, every month starts with the new moon and a leap month is inserted (by doubling the spring month of Adar) when needed to keep the months in their right season.

Why is an extra day added to February every four years-?
Earth takes about 365 and one quarter days to circle the sun once (one year). If we only had 365 days on the calendar, eventually the calendar would be WAY off from the seasons. By adding the extra day every four years, it keeps the calendar in step with the earth's orbit, and thus with the seasons.
