Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Reminder from the Calendar of /cal VAISAKHI PURNIMA Saturday May 13, 2006 All Day (This event does not repeat.) Notes: Vaisakhi (also known as Baisakhi) marks the beginning of the new Spring year and the end of the harvest in India. Vaisakhi falls in the Nanakshahi calendar (neither in the Amantha- nor in the Purnimantha-calendar) on the first day of Vaisakh and marks the sun entering Mesha Rasi (this fact is called Mesha Sankranti). So no lunar rule is determinating Vaisakhi but a solar rule. It usually falls on April 13, falling on April 14 once every thirty-six years. It coincides with 'Rongali Bihu' in Assam, 'Naba Barsha' in Bengal, Puthandu in Tamil Nadu and 'Pooram Vishu' in Kerala. Set up birthday reminders! http://us.rd./cal_us/rem/?/cal?v=9&evt_type=13 Copyright 2006 Inc. . http://www. http://privacy./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
