Questions people ask

When does the Gujarati year begin?

The day after Diwali — Bestu Varas, Kartika Shukla 1 — when the Vikram Samvat turns. The North turns the same era at Chaitra, half a year earlier, so from Chaitra until Diwali the Gujarati year number is one behind the North's; from Bestu Varas they match again.

Which month system does the Gujarati calendar use?

Amanta: each lunar month ends at the new moon (Amavasya), as in the South and in Maharashtra. The tithi and the festival dates are the same as everywhere else; only the month's name in the dark half differs from the North.

What is the choghadiya?

Eight parts of the daylight and eight of the night, each named Amrut, Shubh, Labh, Char, Rog, Kal or Udveg, with the weekday setting the order. It is the everyday check in Gujarat for a journey, a purchase or a new account book.

Why are the times for Ahmedabad?

Every time is counted from Ahmedabad's sunrise and sunset. Surat, Rajkot or a city abroad see the Sun at a different minute, which moves the choghadiya and Rahu Kaal. The month above is worked out for your own place.
