The birth of Guru Nanak Dev, which corresponds to the year 1469 CE, serves as the Nanakshahi calendar’s reference epoch.

It is based on the “Barah Maha” (Twelve Months), a song written by the Sikh gurus to depict the alterations in the natural world expressed in the twelve-month yearly cycle.

Chet is the first month of the year, with 1 Chet being equivalent to 14 March.
