Template:Today/AD/AH Pakistani calendars are the various calendars used in Pakistan for civil, religious and cultural purposes. The Gregorian and Islamic calendar are the most commonly used in official, public and government communications.[1][2][3][4] Many regional and traditional calendars also exist, which are important for recording agricultural and economic activities, timekeeping, or determining festivals.[5]
Background change
Pakistan's agricultural calendar consists of two cycles: Rabi, when winter crops are sown in October and November following the end of the monsoon, and harvested by spring in April and May; and Kharif, when summer crops are sown between April and June, and harvested by early autumn in October and November.[6][7] These terms, describing seasonal farming practices, originate from the Mughal period.[8] Typical Rabi crops include wheat, barley, onions, tomatoes, potatoes and cauliflower, while Kharif crops include rice, sugarcanes, cotton, maize, mung beans, and various fruits.[9]
The financial year, during which all revenues and business operations are budgeted by the government, runs from 1 July to 30 June of the next calendar year.[10]
Regional calendars change
Many communities also observe regional calendars, which have ancient origins. Some of these calendars have undergone local modifications over time.[5]
Pashtun calendar change
The Pashtun calendar is based on the Solar Hijri (Persian) calendar, which is the official calendar of both Iran and Afghanistan.[11] Below are the Persian and Dari months, and their corresponding names in Pashto.[11][12]
