📜 How this date was determined

The Sun enters Mesha at 14 Apr 2026 09:33 IST. The Bengal rule opens the month the day after a transit falling between sunrise and midnight. Boishakh therefore begins on 15 Apr 2026. (Report of the Calendar Reform Committee, Govt of India 1955, “Rules of Samkranti”, p.244)

Computed by Trikaal Vaani from Swiss Ephemeris and the classical nirnaya rules — Nirnaya Sindhu, Dharma Sindhu, and the Report of the Calendar Reform Committee. Not copied from another calendar.
