Vaisakha
Vaishakha ((マラーティー語:वैशाख)) or Baisakha (Hindi: बैसाख) ((ネパール語:बैशाख)) is a month of the Hindu calendar that corresponds to April/May in the Gregorian Calendar.〔Henderson, Helene. (Ed.) (2005) ''Holidays, festivals, and celebrations of the world dictionary'' Third edition. Electronic edition. Detroit: Omnigraphics, p. xxix. ISBN 0-7808-0982-3〕 In the Indian national calendar Vaisakha is the second month of the year. It is the first month of the Nepali calendar (the Vikram Samvat), Punjabi calendar and the Bengali calendar (where it is called ''Boishakh''). Regional calendars used on the sub-continent have two aspects: lunar and solar. Lunar months begin with Chaitra and solar months start with Vaisakha Sankranti. However, regional calendars mark one one official new year is celebrated. In regions such as Maharashtra which begin the official new year with the commencement of the lunar year, the solar year is marked by celebrating Vaisakha Sankranti. Conversely, regions starting the new year with Vaisakha Sankranti, give prominence to the start of the lunar year in Chaitra.
==Overview==
In the Hindu solar calendar, Vaisakha begins in mid-April in Bengal, Nepal and Punjab. In Tamil Nadu, it is known as Vaikasi and represents the second month of the Tamil solar calendar. In the Hindu lunar calendar, Vaisakha begins with the new moon in April and represents the second month of the lunar year. The name of the month is derived from the position of the Sun near the star ''Vishakha''. In the Vaishnava calendar, Madhusudana governs this month.
The month of Boishakh also marks the official start of Summer. The month is notorious for the afternoon storms called Kalboishakhi (''Nor'wester''). The storms usually start with strong gusts from the north-western direction at the end of a hot day and cause widespread destruction.
