Which Hindu month is it now?

It is Pausha (amanta) / Magha (purnimanta), Krishna paksha, in Vikram Samvat 2087 (Shaka 1952). North Indian calendars count months purnimanta (ending on the full moon); much of South and West India counts amanta (ending on the new moon), so the month name can differ in the dark fortnight.
