Sikh Calendar
In January 2002 the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandak Committee, Amritsar, Punjab decided the issue over the Sikh calendar and has adopted the new Nanakshahi calendar based on solar (fixed) rather than lunar dates. The new calendar came into force from 14 April 2003 and you may pick up a free Calendar by visiting the Sikh Missionary Society.
