Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Solar Hijri calendar work?
Unlike the lunar Islamic calendar which wanders through the seasons, the Solar Hijri calendar is tied to the vernal equinox and perfectly follows the solar year (365 or 366 days). This makes it perfectly aligned with the seasons.
When does the Persian year start?
The year begins exactly on the day of the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, which usually falls on March 20th or 21st of the Gregorian calendar. This day is celebrated as Nowruz.
What year is it in the Jalali Calendar?
It starts from the same event as the Islamic lunar calendar (the Hijrah in 622 CE), but because it counts solar years instead of lunar years, the current Jalali year is about 41 years behind the current Islamic (AH) year.
