Starting in 1999 all religious holidays are being observed according to the new Nanakshahi Calendar. Nanakshahi calendar starts with the birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in 1469. The Sikh New Year begins with Chet 1, which in the regular calendar is March 14 and in 1999, it was the year 531 of Nanakshahi calendar. The modification is that now the calendar is based on the solar year instead of the lunar cycle, which means that the dates would not fluctuate from year to year as they did previously.
