Etymology

Pansa comes from the Sanskrit month name Pausha, which marks a winter month in the Hindu lunar calendar. A helpful way to remember it is to think of 'pause' — the year seems to slow down in winter — and that's why Pansa refers to the tenth lunar month around December–January, a time for many rituals.
