Three Calendars Explainedتینوں کیلنڈروں کا تعارف
Gregorian Calendar
عیسوی کیلنڈرThe worldwide standard solar calendar introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. It replaced the Julian calendar to fix a drift in the spring equinox date. Every country, school, and government office in Pakistan officially uses the Gregorian system for legal dates, school terms, and banking.
Islamic Hijri Calendar
اسلامی ہجری کیلنڈرA purely lunar calendar used by Muslims worldwide. It begins from the year of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) migration (Hijra) from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE. Each month starts with the sighting of the new crescent moon, making the Islamic year about 10–11 days shorter than the Gregorian year.
Desi Bikrami Calendar
دیسی بکرمی کیلنڈرThe traditional solar calendar of Punjab and South Asia, rooted in the ancient Vikram Samvat system (57 BCE). Each month begins when the Sun enters a new zodiac sign (Sankranti), keeping it perfectly aligned with agricultural seasons year after year. Pakistani farmers trust it above all other calendars for planting and harvest planning.
