Countdown of Hindu New Year 2026, Roudra Samvat starts from March 19, what do the astrological signs say?

According to the Hindu calendar, the beginning of every year is considered to be from Pratipada date of Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month. According to religious beliefs, on this day Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, had created the world. Therefore it is considered the first day of the Hindu New Year. The new Samvatsara begins from this date and astrologers also predict the auspicious and inauspicious effects of the entire year from this day.

When does Hindu New Year start?

In the year 2026, Hindu New Year, i.e. Vikram Samvat 2083, will start from March 19. This day is coinciding with Thursday. According to the rules of astrology, the ruling planet of the year from which the year begins is considered the king of that year. Since this time the new year is starting from Thursday, Devguru Brihaspati will be considered the king of the year. According to the calculations of the planets, this year’s minister will be Mars. On the basis of this position of the planets, Vikram Samvat 2083 has been named ‘Raudra’.

If seen from astrological point of view, Roudra Samvat is considered to be a year with some challenges. It is believed that during this period, political tension may increase at the global level and differences between many countries are also likely to deepen. There are also indications of conflict or war-like situations at some places. Apart from this, fear of increase in natural incidents, fire or accidents is also being expressed.

This season can also have an impact on the agricultural sector. It is believed that rainfall may be less than normal in many areas, due to which there will be a danger of crop yield being affected. If this happens then there is a possibility of increase in inflation due to decrease in food grain production. Along with this, dissatisfaction may increase among the public in many countries and people may be seen raising their voice against the governments.

Every year has a special name

Actually, every Samvatsara has a special name, on the basis of which the nature and possible circumstances of that year are estimated. Vikram Samvat 2083 has been named ‘Raudra’, which is believed to mean fierce or intense nature. This time the new year will start in Uttarabhadrapad Nakshatra and at that time there will be a coincidence of Pisces ascendant with Shukla Yoga. This position of the planets and constellations is considered very important in astrology, because on the basis of these the possible effects of the year are assessed.

Overall, according to astrological beliefs, Vikram Samvat 2083 can be a year full of ups and downs, in which many challenges can be seen at the social, political and natural levels.
