Citation-ready answer

Samvat.in lists Bihu 2028 on Thursday, 13 April 2028. The India-baseline festival rule resolves the observance to Krishna Chaturthi, Vaishakha, and the relevant observance moment is the relevant Panchang moment for the observance. This page is intended as a date-and-rule reference: it shows the Gregorian date, Hindu date, calculation type, festival type, and the Panchang logic Samvat uses for the public festival calendar. Local practice can still vary by city, sampradaya, family tradition, and the exact sunrise, sunset, moonrise, pradosha, madhyahna, or nishita window required by a festival rule. Users planning a vrata, puja, or ceremony should compare the local Panchang before treating the India-baseline date as a personal muhurat.
