Sangrand 2024 January 1. Sangrand marks the first day of each month in the punjabi and indian solar calendars. The word “sangrand” originates from the sanskrit term “sankranti,” symbolizing the transition or change.

Until the 13th of march, 1998, the sikhs used a hindu lunar calendar to determine their feast days. Sangrand is the 1st day / beginning of the new desi punjabi month.
