Cheti chandppt

‘Chaitra Shukla Prtipada’ is
known as World Revelation
Day in Indian Sanatan
tradition

There is one verse in
BRAHMA PURANA for this

That means , BRHMA JI created the world on
the first sun rise of the first day of ‘CHAITRA’
month.
SAMVATSAR starts from that day.
So, Indian New Year begins from Chaitra
month.
And, the word ‘SAMVATSAR’ also says many
things.

‘NIRUKTAM’ and ‘AMARKOSH’
scriptures have given the definition
of SAMVATSAR.

That means a time period
where all six seasons live
is called ‘SAMVATSAR’.
Which means a year.

Apart from 1st January, India celebrates New
Year Days followed by both solar and lunar
calendar systems.
Most of these new year festivals are
celebrated based on the Hindu calendar that
follows the lunar cycle.
Culturally rich India has it’s own way to
celebrate New Year’s day in different times of
the year at different places. Every region in
India follows a different culture, so traditions
of new year’s days celebrations also vary.

This day is also known as
‘CHETI CHAND’

Cheti Chand
is basically a
Sindhi festiv
al,
celebrated
mostly by
Sindhis.

Sindhis are a socio-
ethnic group of people
originating from Sindh,
a province of Pakistan.
After the Partition of
India in 1947, many
Sindhi Hindus migrated
to India in large
numbers.
Here they established
their customs and
traditions, one of which
was the celebration of
Cheti Chand Festival.

Cheti Chand is
celebrated as a
commemoration of
birthday of Sindhi
Patron Saint Jhulelal
and as New Year's Day
for Sindhis.
Jhulelal is also known
as Ishtadeva Udero Lal
(hindu water god -
Varun Dev's
incarnation).
He is also known as
Uday Chand, Amar Laal
and Laal Sain.

The name 'Jhulelal'
became famous
because as a child
(lal), the cradle (jhule)
of Uderolal would
swing on its own.
Jhulelal was a man of
miracles, through his
miracles he opened
the eyes of the
oppressor and provided
justice to sindhis.
To honour their deity,
the sindhis celebrate
this day.
Cheti Chand is
celebrated on a day
during the waxing
phase of moon
(chand) of Chet
month.
It is observed on the
first or second day of
the Sindhi Chet
month (March – April)
or Chaitra month in
Hindu calendar;
therefore it is called
as 'Chet-I-Chand'.

Such is the legacy of Indian
Tradition that justifies the
verbal coinage about India,
UNITY IN DIVERSITY
