Malayalam Handmade Wooden Perpetual Calendar by Nithyam

What It Is
The Malayalam Handmade Wooden Perpetual Calendar by Nithyam is a wall-mounted perpetual calendar. It is a plywood board holding rows of circular knobs, one row for the day of the week, one for the date, and one for the month. Each morning you move three rings to reflect today. The calendar never expires. One purchase. No replacements. No refills. No subscription. It works on 1 January every year, for every year, for as long as it hangs on a wall. It is not digital. It has no battery. It requires nothing from you except five seconds each morning and a wall to hang it on.

Materials and Finish

• Board: Plywood, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and stability across humidity changes, essential for an object designed to last decades in an Indian home.
• Knobs: Made from recycled PET bottle caps, giving each calendar a second life for plastic that would otherwise go to waste. Each knob's day, date, or month value is printed as a high-quality sticker and applied by hand before final inspection.
• Finish: Hand painted, satin-based finish sealed with a protective gloss clear coat across the board and knobs. The satin undertone softens the shine, while the gloss seal is chosen deliberately for a calendar touched every morning - it protects the paint from the wear of daily handling far better than an unsealed matte surface would.
• Ring: Wooden rings, sized to a 40mm inner diameter, slide over the fixed knobs to mark today's day, date, and month. Each ring lifts off and moves to a new knob daily - there's no rotation involved, just a simple lift-and-place motion.

Dimensions

• Board size: 60cm x 60cm
• Board thickness: 6mm

• Wall Fixing: Two heavy-duty D-ring hangers are pre-installed on the back of the calendar

How It Works
Every morning, before anything else, you stand in front of the Malayalam Handmade Wooden Perpetual Calendar by Nithyam and move three rings. The day ring lifts off yesterday's knob and moves one position to today's day. The date ring lifts off and moves one position to today's date. The month ring stays in place unless it is the first of a new month, in which case it moves to the new month.

The wooden ring sits around the current knob in each row. You do not move the knobs. You move the ring from knob to knob. The knobs stay fixed in place, and the ring travels between them.

The full action takes five seconds. It requires no thought once the habit is established. After the first week, it is simply what you do in the morning.

Available Colours
The Malayalam Handmade Wooden Perpetual Calendar by Nithyam is available in five colours: Forest, Clay, Dusk, Blush, and Monsoon. Select your colour from the option shown on the product page. All colours carry the same Malayalam script in white. The sticker text colour and the wooden ring colour are consistent across all five colour options.

Care Instructions
The Malayalam Handmade Wooden Perpetual Calendar by Nithyam requires very little care. Wipe the board surface with a slightly damp soft cloth if needed. Do not use chemical cleaners or abrasive materials. The knobs will develop a slight smoothness on their surface over months of daily handling. This is not damage. It is the object wearing in correctly.

Do not mount in direct midday sunlight for extended periods. Morning light and afternoon light are fine. Prolonged direct sunlight will fade the colour unevenly over years.

If a knob becomes loose in its slot, contact us before attempting any repair.
