Happy Hindu New Year

The first day of the Hindu New Year, also known as Nav Samvatsar, is around the corner. For the uninitiated, it is celebrated on the Pratipada Tithi of the Shukla Paksha of the Chaitra lunar month. Every year, the month of Chaitra marks the beginning of the New Year (which falls in March or April as per the Gregorian calendar). Also known as Vikram Samvat, the Hindu New Year is celebrated in the month of March or April every year.

The Hindu New Year for 2022 begins on 2nd April, also the first of the nine days of the Navratri festivities. During this nine-day celebration, devotees worship Goddess Durga in her different forms and manifestations. Local variations of the Hindu New Year, also known as the Solar New Year, are found in various parts of the world. In India too, it is celebrated under different names and themes in different states.
