Common questions
When does Vaishakh start in 2031?
Vaishakh 2031 starts on Tuesday, 8 April 2031 in the North Indian purnimanta calendar, and on Tuesday, 22 April 2031 in the amanta calendar used in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and South India.
When does Vaishakh end in 2031?
The purnimanta month ends on Vaishakha Purnima, Wednesday, 7 May 2031. The amanta month ends on Vaishakha Amavasya, Wednesday, 21 May 2031.
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.
