Sikh Calendar (Nanakshahi)

This is a new calendar, that was first used in the year 531 (starting March 1999). It is intended to replace reckoning by the complex Hindu Lunar Calendar with dates that are constant in the common Gregorian Calendar. Many Sikhs have welcomed this, and are using the new calendar, and many others continue to use the lunar dates. It is still unclear what the outcome will be, and while this site presents the new Nanakshahi dates, be aware that many Sikhs will be using others.

For the time being, the Birth of Guru Nanak is still celebrated at Kartika Full Moon, and Basant Panchami, Hola Mohalla (Holi) and Bandi Chhor Divas (Diwali) are celebrated alongside the Hindu festivals.
