Samvatsara, or simply “Samvat,”<\/strong> is the Sanskrit word for “year.”<\/strong> Vikramaditya of Ujjain founded the Vikram Samvat calendar in 57 BC, which is thought to have come after he triumphs over the Saka in 56 BC.<\/span><\/p>

The southern (Purnimanta) and northern (Amanta) Hindu calendars began in 56 BCE. Both systems celebrate most holidays in Shukla Paksha. The era honors Indian King Vikramaditya.<\/span><\/p>

Seasons, months, and days follow the sun and moon in the Indian Calendar. Vikram Samvat governs Hindu festivals. In North India, Vikram Samvat begins with Chaitra Shukla paksha. Gujarat celebrates the first day of Kartik, the Vikram Samvat calendar, on the second day of Diwali.<\/span><\/p>

King Gardabhilla allegedly kidnapped Sarasvati, a nun. Kalakacharya’s sister. The powerless monk asked Sakasthana’s Saka ruler to defeat Gardabhilla. The Saka King defeated and enslaved him. Gardabhilla died in the forest after being released. Vikramaditya, his forest-raised son, conquered Ujjain and expelled the Sakas. To memorialize this occasion, he established Vikram Samvat.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

India uses Saka and Vikram Samvat calendars. India uses Shaka Samvat. Vikram Samvat began in 57 BC and this one in 78 BC. Moon calculations determine the time in both Samvat.<\/span><\/p>

The lunar-solar Vikram Samvat calendar is 56.7 years ahead of the solar Gregorian calendar, according to the Saka Samvat calendar conversion. 2074 VS starts in 2017 CE and ends in 2018 CE. Saka Samvat begins in 78 AD, Vikram Samvat in 57 BC. Sakha calendars are used by the first two belts. For those who observe Holi on the first day of the month, the month ends on the day following the full moon (Poornima), not the new moon (Amavasya). Thus the 15-day interval between New Year.<\/span><\/p>

Shaka and Vikram Samvat have the same months as Shukla and Krishna Pakshas. However, only the first of the month differs. In Vikram Samvat, the Krishna Paksha follows the full moon, while in Shaka Samvat, the Shukla Paksha follows the new moon.<\/span><\/p>

Thus, these Samvat begin on different dates. In the Shaka Samvat, the first day of the month is called Pratipada (First Day), while in the Vikram Samvat, it falls on the sixteenth day of the month, known as Chaitra Shukla Paksha Pratipada.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
