Questions people ask

What is Sangrand?

The first day of a Bikrami solar month, the day the Sun enters a new sign. The Punjabi year begins at Vaisakhi, the Sangrand of Vaisakh in mid-April.

How are sudi and vadi counted?

The lunar dates run in two halves, sudi (the bright half, to Puranmashi, the full moon) and vadi (the dark half, to Masya, the new moon). The month ends at the full moon, as in the North.

Are the festival names the Punjab ones?

Yes. Maghi, Teeyan, Bandi Chhor Divas and Guru Nanak Gurpurab are named as Punjab names them, while the dates come from the same computation as the rest of the site.

Why are the times for Amritsar?

Every time is counted from Amritsar's sunrise and sunset. Ludhiana 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.
