ગુજરાતી પંચાંગ · ગુજરાતી
Gujarati (ગુજરાતી) is spoken by over 55 million people in Gujarat and a global diaspora. The Gujarati calendar follows Vikram Samvat with Amavasyant months — uniquely, the new year (Bestu Varas) begins the day after Diwali. Tithis carry distinct Gujarati names: Ekam, Bij, Trij, Choth… Punam and Amas. Key terms: Panchang (પંચાંગ), Tithi (તિથિ), Choghadiya (ચોઘડિયા), Rahu Kal (રાહુ કાળ).
