What is Punjabi Desi Month Calendar?

The Punjabi Desi Month Calendar is a traditional lunar calendar used in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. It operates on the cycles of the moon’s phases, diverging from the solar calendar systems used in many other parts of the world. This calendar is deeply ingrained in the agricultural lifestyle of the region, with each month signifying the timing for planting, harvesting, and celebrating various seasonal festivals that are vital to the cultural fabric of the Punjabi community.

A Year in the Punjabi Desi Month Calendar

Each month in the Punjabi Calendar, also known as Nanakshahi, brings with it a new set of festivités refined by centuries of tradition and religion. The Punjabi people have a deep-rooted connection to their calendar, as every festival carries a legend, a historical significance, and a communal bonding narrative.

Chet

The calendar commences with Chet (mid-March to mid-April), ushering in the New Year with grand festivities of Baisakhi. Marked by harvest thanksgiving, this month epitomizes new beginnings, hope, and prosperity. The farmers start sowing their fields and the bazaars are filled with colorful displays of spring produce.

Vaisakh

Vaisakh (mid-April to mid-May) carries forwards the Baisakhi fervor with religious processions and rituals, particularly along the Golden Temple in Amritsar. This month also marks the beginning of the solar year as per Sikh tradition, with devotees from around the world visiting the temple to offer their prayers.

Jeth

Jeth (mid-May to mid-June) is synonymous with blistering heat but also signifies the onset of mango season, with families relishing the king of fruits in various delectable forms. The month also features the important festival of Gurgaddi, honoring the installation of Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal Guru.

Harh

Harh (mid-June to mid-July) sees the arrival of the monsoon, bringing much-needed respite from the scorching summers. The festival of Lohri, celebrated to mark the end of the harvest season, is a prominent feature of this month, as people gather around bonfires, singing and dancing to traditional folk songs.

Saawan

Saawan (mid-July to mid-August) brings lush greenery and cool, rejuvenating showers. This month is dedicated to Lord Shiva, with Monday fasts called “Somvar Vrats” being observed to seek the deity’s blessings. The Nag Panchami festival, venerating the snake god, is also an important event of this month.

Bhadon

Bhadon (mid-August to mid-September) is the time for major Sikh historical events. The controversial partition of Punjab and India in 1947 is also commemorated as a remembrance on ‘Sethi’ month by the followers of Sikhism. Celebrations begin with the festival of Teej, a day dedicated to the health and longevity of one’s spouse.

Assu

Assu (mid-September to mid-October) marks the beginning of the autumn season and is significant for the Dussehra festival, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. It is celebrated with great fanfare, with effigies of the demon king Ravana being burnt in various parts of the region.

Katik

Katik (mid-October to mid-November) is the time for the harvest of the Kharif crop and the setting in of the winter cold. The month is also marked with the observance of Diwali, the festival of lights, where homes are lit with oil lamps and fireworks light up the night sky.

Magh

Magh (mid-November to mid-December) is the month of Maghi, which is celebrated in honor of the Chali Mukte, forty sikh warriors who died fighting for Guru Gobind Singh Ji. This month also sees the observance of the famous festival of Lohri which is dedicated to fire and the sun.

Peh

Poh (mid-December to mid-January) is a time of intense cold, marking the onset of winter in Punjab. This is the month that includes the winter solstice, celebrated with the festival of Maghi, which acknowledges the movement of the sun into the Capricorn zodiac sign.

Maghar

Maghar (mid-January to mid-February) is the month of hope and courage, with Punjabi people commemorating the martyrs and celebrating the harvest of the Rabi crop. The month concludes with the festival of Hola Mohalla, a grand military-style event that showcases the martial legacy of Punjab.

Phagun

Phagun (mid-February to mid-March) ushers in the spring season with joyous celebrations of Holi, a festival of colors that signifies love, happiness, and the victory of good over evil. This marks the end of the Punjabi Desi Month Calendar, completing the cyclical nature of life and festivities in the vibrant Punjabi community.
