Known also as the Jalali calendar, the Persian calendar is a solar calendar with a starting point that matches that of the Islamic Hijr calendar. Apart from that, this is where the similarities between both calendars end. The origin of the Persian calendar can be traced back to the 11th century when a group of astronomers created a calendar which is based on the actual observation of the sun.

Do you know that the Persian calendar is named after king Jalal-al-Din Malek-Shah Saljouqi? Iranian mathematician Omar Khayyam calculated the months by basing it on solar transits through the zodiac. He created a system inspired by Hindu and Chinese-Uighur calendars.
