Common questions
When does Vaishakh start in 2028?
Vaishakh 2028 starts on Monday, 10 April 2028 in the North Indian purnimanta calendar, and on Tuesday, 25 April 2028 in the amanta calendar used in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and South India.
When does Vaishakh end in 2028?
The purnimanta month ends on Vaishakha Purnima, Monday, 8 May 2028. The amanta month ends on Vaishakha Amavasya, Wednesday, 24 May 2028.
Why do North and South India show different dates?
Both systems use the same new-moon and full-moon moments. Purnimanta months end on Purnima, amanta months end on Amavasya, so the month name shifts by a fortnight for the Krishna paksha. Festival dates are the same; only the month label differs.
