The Vikram Samvat has been used by #Hindus and #Sikhs.[10] One of several regional Hindu calendars in use on the Indian subcontinent, it is based on twelve synodic lunar months and 365 solar days.[10][11] The lunar year begins with the new moon of the month of Chaitra.[12] This day, known as Chaitra Sukhladi, is a restricted holiday in India.[13]

The calendar remains in use by #Hindus in Nepal and north, west and central #India.[3] In south India and portions of east and west India (such as #Assam, #WestBengal and #Gujarat), the Indian national calendar is widely used.[14]
