The Shandiani Calendar is used by the residents of Shandiana. It is closely tied to the short seasons of Shandiana. The Shandiani seasons are not as pronounced as they are on Earth, but nevertheless do have some impact on plant cultivation. The months are named after the constellations that the Shandiani sun is located in at the start of the month.

Hurmia, the moon of Shandiana, orbits the planet with a mean period between full moons of about 3.503 days, so the seven-day week is closely tied to the motion of Hurmia as well as being an import from Earth. Shandiana experiences about two full moons every week.

The Shandiani calendar year is 184.57 Shandiani days long, with 57 leap years every 100 Shandiani years.
