The Nanakshahi ((パンジャーブ語:ਨਾਨਕਸ਼ਾਹੀ), ') calendar is a tropical solar calendar that was adopted by the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandak Committee to determine the dates for important Sikh events.The calendar was implimented during the SGPC presidentship of eminent Sikh scholar Prof. Kirpal Singh Badungar at Takhat Sri Damdama Sahib in the presence of Sikh leadership. It was designed by Pal Singh Purewal to replace the Saka calendar and has been in use since 1998. The epoch of this calendar is the birth of the first Sikh Guru, Nanak Dev in 1469. New Year's Day falls annually on what is March 14 in the Gregorian Western calendar.〔 The calendar is accepted in about 90% of the gurdwaras throughout the world.
