The Malayalam calendar is a lunar calendar.

I doubt that this is a lunar calendar. I followed the link and one of the months seemed to have 31 days. --Juuitchan

It has twelve months:

  1. Chingam
  2. Kanni
  3. Thulam
  4. Vrischikam
  5. Dhanu
  6. Makaram
  7. Kumbham
  8. Meenam
  9. Medam
  10. Edavam
  11. Midhunam
  12. Karkidakam

The Malayalam era called KollaVarsham (or Kollam era) was established in 825. A.D. Some historians attribute the founding of this era to King Udaya Marthanda Varma, King of Venad.
