Worth knowing

Gudi Padwa falls on the exact same lunisolar day as Telugu/Kannada Ugadi and Sindhi Cheti Chand — one calendar date, several regional names and customs across India.

This is one of several living regional calendar traditions across India, all ultimately related to the same Panchang principles. See the Hindu Calendar overview for how they connect, or The Sanskrit Calendar for the pan-Indian Panchang system this site covers in depth.
