The dates in a lunisolar calendar relate to both the phases of the moon and the season of the solar year. There are 12 months in the year, with each month beginning with the new moon. However, in order to remain in sync with the tropical year, an extra month is typically intercalated every two or three years. Examples of lunisolar calendars are the Buddhist, Hindu, Hebrew and Chinese calendars.

Does the luni solar calendar directly relate with the moon and the sun?
A purely solar calendar, such as the Gregorian calendar that is commonly used, has no connection to the cycles of the Moon, and is tied strictly to the solar year. Months are pretty much arbitrary. In a lunar calendar, the month always begins at the new moon, and dates always occur on the same phase of the Moon. A purely lunar calendar (such as the Islamic calendar) does not synchronize with the solar year at all. A luni-solar calendar such as the Hebrew calendar is primarily tied to the Moon, but also adds "leap months" periodically to maintain a rough match with the solar year.
