Samvatsara

Samvatsara

Samvatsara is a Sanskrit term for "year". In Hindu tradition, there are 60 Samvatsaras, each of which has a name. Once all 60 samvatsaras are over, the cycle starts over again. On occasion, one will be skipped, as the count is based on the zodiac position of Jupiter, whose period around the sun is slightly less than 12 years (the full cycle of 60 covers five Jovian years).

The sixty Samvatsaras are divided into 3 groups of 20 Samvatsaras each. The first 20 from "Prabhava" to "Vyaya" are attributed to Brahma. The next 20 from "Sarvajit" to "Parabhava" to Vishnu & the last 20 to Shiva.
