Punjabi calendar & time
Months of the year
The twelve Gregorian months in Punjabi. Punjab also keeps its own solar desi months — Chet, Vaisakh, Jeth, Harh, Sawan, Bhadon, Assu, Katak, Maghar, Poh, Magh and Phagan — used in the Nanakshahi and Bikrami calendars and for festivals like Vaisakhi and Maghi. The note on each month shows which desi month begins in it.
