had no idea whose new year this was - till i looked it up
its really interesting how new year's vary from region to region in the same country...
have included communities, other than the regional ones, however, it is not a comprehensive list

January / February
Tamil Nad - Pongal
Chinese - Lunar New Year [january - february, depending on the new moon of the first lunar month]
Tibetian - Losar [january through march]

March / April
Andhra Pradesh - Ugadi
Karnataka - Ugadi
Maharashtra - Gudi Padwa
Sindhi - Cheti Chand

Mid April northern spring
Assam - Bihu
Bengali - Pôila Boishakh
Kerela - Vishu
Orissa - Vishuva Sankranti
Nepalese - Baisākh
Punjab - Vaisakhi

October - November northern fall
Gujarat
Marwari

the Islamic new year occurs on Muharram.

nearly every month is a new year

cool!
please add to the list - it'd be great to have all the new years.
lets drink and be merry - heck its a new year dashit! salud !!
