Happy New Year, India!

Posted by Katrien Vander Straeten Feb 7, 2007

O dear.

I decided to investigate “The Hindu New Year”. Turns out: there is no ONE Hindu New Year. There are many, too many!

Nevertheless, I couldn’t put the matter aside. So first I researched the Many Indian Calendars and then I could tackle the Many Hindu New Year's Days.

So sorry if reading those only confuses you more, but at least you will get some idea of the complexity of the issue!

If you have anything to add, please do let me know (no, I really mean it, truly).

Be sure to read my article on Holi and Dhuleti, which is also coming up soon, on 2-3 March.
