Chingam 1 (Kollam New Year) 2028

📜 How this date was determined

The Sun enters Simha at 16 Aug 2028 20:29 IST. The transit falls past three fifths of the daylight from sunrise, so the Malabar rule opens the month the following day. Chingam therefore begins on 17 Aug 2028. (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.
