Nanakshahi Calendar Punjabi English - Purewal

The Original Nanakshahi Calendar (2003) approved by SGPC and Akal Takht.
It covers the year 2003 to 2030.

Dropdown menus allow one to choose a year, a month, or the language (English or Panjabi) in which to display the data. An entire month is shown, and one can scroll left and right in the display area.

When the application is first started, it opens to the current date as set in your device. The current day will be
highlighted in yellow. When one browses to another month, or year, and then returns to the current month and year,
this highlighted current day will again be in the initial view area.

For the years 2003-2020, a link is shown on the day that Guru Nanak's Parkash falls on. If that link is touched, a background article about Guru Nanak's Parkash will be downloaded to your device from Pal S. Purewal's
website (see below), to be viewed through an Adobe Acrobat viewer.

In addition, for the years 2013-2020, new moons and full moons are shown on their appropriate days, for
informational purposes only.

Chet, Vaisakh, Jeth, Harh, Sawan - 31 days
Bhadon, Assu, Katik, Maghar, Poh, Magh - 30 days
Phagun - 30 or 31 days (if a leap year)
