Since ancient times, it has been a tradition that from this month, the outline of new work has been decided by summing up the old work in the country and the world, because this month is the month of arrival of spring and from this month nature starts becoming new again. Even today in India, new accounts are updated in the month of Chaitra. This work is also being done in other countries of the world during this month. That means there is a change in the month of March. New Year is celebrated at different times in societies, religions and countries around the world. In most calendars, New Year falls between March and April and the second day begins with sunrise. The calendar changing in March is considered to be in accordance with nature and science for which there are many reasons. A cycle of nature and earth is completed in March.

Life begins afresh in nature in the New Year. Spring comes out. Chaitra month occurs between March and April of the English calendar. On March 21, the Earth completes one revolution around the Sun, at which time day and night are equal. Scientists say that the earth’s natural new year begins from this day. New Year is not welcomed in the darkness of night. The new year is celebrated by welcoming the first ray of the sun. The Hindu New Year is based on the lunisolar calendar, which is directly related to the creation of the human body. The Indian calendar is important not only culturally but also scientifically, as it connects you to the activities of the planet. The Moon causes the plant ears to fill with juice, the Sun causes them to ripen. The entire human civilization has been based on agriculture since ancient times and calculation of lunar months is helpful in agriculture. This is the reason that even after calculating solar months, Indian scholars also calculated lunar months. ‘Vikram Samvat’ is the era with the best solar-lunar harmony in the world. Today, it is because of forgetting that calculation that there are so many obstacles in agriculture.
Scientific research has shown that moonlight is not only as important for trees and plants as sunlight, but also affects starch storage and their utilization. The nutrition that trees and plants get from this is bio-electric activity. Photosynthesis occurs during the day. Without a natural satellite, life on Earth would change completely. The moon also has an impact on the circulation of water in trees and plants. It seems that nature takes on new blossoms and gets energized for new formations; humans, animals, birds, even the inanimate nature also becomes conscious by renouncing carelessness and laziness.
