To the south of Vindya Mountains, the year is Pramadhi. To the north,
the year is 12 years ahead (Nandana). In US, we go with the name Pramadhi. 
Do we follow this because most of us from Southern part of the country (India)?
If the year is not Pramadhi, as US is to the west of Vindya Mountain, what is
the name?

Does anyone know?
