This Desi date is accurate
The date above is calculated from today's Gregorian date, then checked by hand. It is not copied from another website. Many sites mix Nanakshahi with Bikarmi, use lunar months, or keep an old table, so their Desi date can be wrong by a day or more.
The Nanakshahi year starts on 16 March with Chet, counted from 1469 CE. Each month runs to the next fixed solar start, so leap years stay correct. We calculate the date, then confirm it against those month starts. The same dates appear on this page, the Desi calendar, the converter and the PDFs. See how we keep dates accurate.
