In the lunar calendar system, a regular year consists of 12 lunar months, totaling approximately 354 days. When an extra month is added seven times over 19 years, this results in a total of 19 x 12 + 7 = 235 lunar months. Converting this to days gives us 235 x 29.53 (average length of a lunar month) = approximately 6946.55 days.

The Ancient Roman lunar calendar had a month called Februarius, named for the purification festival called Februa which was held on the 15th day of that month.
Because in the early Roman calendar there were only 10 months in a year with September being the 7th month and October being the 8th month. Julius Caesar added an extra 2 months to the year which we call the Julian Calendar which now had 12 months to the year and with some modificatios by Pope Gregory we still use it today.
Because Our calendar is a product of long evolution from a hunting society to an agricultural society. The hunters originally used a lunar calendar--new month each new moon. But new moons occur every 29.5 days, which is 12 in 355 days. This is not commensurable with a seasonal calendar such as agricultural societies would want. Ancient Rome tried to fix this by having a 13th month every third year. This did not work out too well, because the head priests played games, calling for an extra month whenever people they liked were elected to head the government (2 year terms). Julius Caesar hired an ethnic Greek from Alexandria Egypt, Sosigenes, to create the 365 day calendar with an extra day every fourth year.12 month calendars are favored because business works on a quarter system.
June is the sixth month on the calendar.

Concept of ADHIK MASS in in Lunar Calender-The lunar calendar is based on the moon's rotation around the Earth. The lunar month corresponds to one complete rotation of Moon around the Earth. Since this period of rotation of moon around the earth varies, the duration of lunar month also varies. On average, the lunar month has about 29 ½ days. In addition to moon's rotation around the earth, the lunar year is based on earth's rotation around the Sun. In general, the lunar year has twelve lunar months of approximately 354 days, thus making it shorter by about 11 days than the solar year. However, the lunar calendar accounts for this difference by adding an extra lunar month about once every 2½ years. This extra lunar month is known as the "Adhik Mas" in India (Adhik means extra and the Mas means month). The concept of placing of the extra month, meaning why and when should it be inserted between certain lunar months is as follow.
Adhika is a Sanskrit term that means "extra" or "additional." It is commonly used in Hindu astrology to refer to the insertion of an extra month into the lunar calendar to align it with the solar calendar.
The first day of the next lunar month can vary depending on the specific lunar calendar being used. In general, the lunar month begins with the new moon, so you will need to consult a lunar calendar or lunar phase calendar to determine the exact date of the new moon and thereby the first day of the next lunar month.
