Frequently asked questions about Punjabi Jantri
What is a Jantri?
The Punjabi almanac - janam-patri\'s cousin, the yearly reckoning of days, tithis, nakshatras, Sangrands and Gurpurabs used across Punjab. This page gives it in the Bikrami reckoning with the Nanakshahi year alongside.
What is a Sangrand?
The first day of the Punjabi solar month, when the Sun enters a new sign. Gurdwaras mark it with the reading of the Barah Maha from the Guru Granth Sahib, and the Jantri lists it for each of the twelve months from Chet to Phagan.
Why are two years shown?
Because both are in use. Bikrami is the older reckoning that the Jantri has always kept; Nanakshahi, counted from 1469, was adopted for Sikh dates and begins on 1 Chet. Almanacs print both so either can be quoted.
Why do some Gurpurab dates move from year to year?
Because the Nanakshahi calendar fixed several of them to solar dates while other jathebandis continue to keep them by the Bikrami lunar reckoning. Where your gurdwara announces a different date, follow that.
Does it show tithis as well as Sangrands?
Yes - each day carries its tithi and nakshatra alongside the solar date, so Puranmashi, Masya and the Panchmi days used for sangat and akhand path can be found directly. The Punjabi calendar gives the festival view of the same year.
