The Nanakshahi calendar is a tropical solar calendar that determines the dates for important Sikh events. The epoch of this calendar is the birth of the first Sikh Guru, Nanak Dev in 1469.

Some of its salient features include, it is a solar calendar – based on the time it takes for the earth to rotate around the sun.

It is scientifically design and keeps in precise tune with the sun’s position; seasons do not slip from year to year. It is based on Gurbani – Months taken directly from Guru Granth sahib. The year length is same as Western calendar (365 days 5 hours 48 minutes 45 seconds)
