AI explanation of calculated facts — traditional guidance, not a prediction
How the date is determined
- The date is Chaitra Shukla Paksha Pratipada; the month name is the same in the Amanta and Purnimanta systems.
- It falls on the day when this tithi prevails at local sunrise (udaya tithi).
- If the tithi is present at two sunrises (a vriddhi tithi), the first day is taken.
- If the tithi does not touch that period on any day (a kshaya tithi), the Hindu day on which the tithi prevails longest is used.
- In a year with an Adhik month of the same name, it is observed in the regular (Nija) month.
Traditional variation
Many Sindhi calendars keep Cheti Chand on the evening the first crescent of Chaitra is seen (Chandra darshan), which is usually this day but can be the next; the date here is the one the Government of India almanac and holiday lists print. Follow your community calendar.
This is the date given by the rule shown above for the selected place. It is not the only valid date: regional Panchangs, family customs and sampradayas may observe it on a different day.
Rule source: Sindhi lokachara (no Dharmashastra ruling of its own): Chaitra Shukla Pratipada at sunrise (udaya tithi), the day of Chaitra Shukladi. The Rashtriya Panchang (IMD) prints Cheti Chand with Chaitra Shukladi (Gudi Padwa, Ugadi): 9 Apr 2024, 30 Mar 2025, 19 Mar 2026, 7 Apr 2027 (Saka 1946-1948), as do the Government of India (DoPT) restricted-holiday lists 2024-2027
