The 60 - year cycle of the Tamil Calendar is followed in Tamil Nadu and all over the India as a traditional calendars, with the same name and sequence of years.
Its original reference is to be found in Surya Siddhanta, which Varahamihirar to be the most accurate of the then current theories of astronomy. However, in the Surya Siddhantic list, the first year was Vijaya and not Prabhava as currently used.
After the completion of sixty years, the calendar starts a new with the first year. This corresponds to the Hindu "century." Based on this Uga(uga starts with child nebula created time and the sun system of the earth) is calculated. The Vakya or Tirukannitha Panchangam (the traditional Tamil manual for astronomy) outlines this sequence.
Hindu and Mayan calendars only has full reference of prabanjam (nebula in English) creation and destroying time. But western science invented last 20 years back only.
