سنڌو سنبت – هڪ مقامي سنڌي ڪئلينڊر

The Sindhu Sanbat is the traditional, native solar calendar system of Sindh. Its historical epoch directly marks a turning point in the sovereignty and history of the region. The timeline of the Sindhu Sanbat begins with the martyrdom of Rai Saharas II, a prominent ruler of the native Rai Dynasty of Sindh. Following his defense of the realm, this calendar era was established to honor his legacy. This calendar started at Year 0, Year 1 of the Sindhu Sanbat corresponds directly to 626 AD (Gregorian) and 4 AH (Islamic Hijri).

A standard Sindhu Samvat year contains 12 months totaling 365 days. The year always kicks off with the spring month of Chet and finishes with the winter month of Pugharn. Chet has exactly 30 days. The next 5 consecutive months have 31 days each. The final 6 months have 30 days each. 1st Chet always lands on March 14. During a Gregorian leap year, 1st Chet shifts to March 13 to account for February 29. Outside of this single New Year day shift, the relative day-to-day dates for the other eleven months remain perfectly synchronized across both systems.
