The significance of Chaitra — Goddess Durga & Lord Rama
Chaitra opens the Hindu lunar year. Its bright first day is the new year across much of India — Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, Cheti Chand — and its first nine days are Chaitra (Vasanta) Navratri, ending in Rama's birth at Ram Navami. It is a spring month of beginnings: the neem-and-jaggery of Ugadi tasting the year's bitter and sweet together.

Chaitra 2075 — Frequently Asked Questions
When does Chaitra Maas 2075 start?
In North India (Purnimanta calendar) Chaitra runs from Sunday, 3 March 2075 to Monday, 1 April 2075. In Amanta-calendar regions it runs Sunday, 17 March 2075 to Monday, 15 April 2075.
Why do Chaitra dates differ in North and South India?
Because the two regions follow different lunar calendars. In the Purnimanta calendar (North India) a month ends on the Purnima, so it starts about 15 days earlier than in Amanta. In the Amanta calendar (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Goa, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu) the month runs new-moon to new-moon.
