Sal Mubarak
Saal is an Indo-Persian word meaning year, and mubarak is an originally Arabic term meaning blessing or good wishes. The greeting Saal Mubarak is therefore used to mark the New Year.
The greeting Saal Mubarak is used by the Parsi community in India and Pakistan to mark Nowruz which occurs in either March or August depending on the specific Zoroastrian calendar used.
Both, Saal Mubarak, and Nutan Varshabhinandan are greetings used by Gujaratis to commemorate the Hindu, Parsi and Jain New Year, also known as Bestu Varas. It is celebrated on Balipratipada, which falls on the first day after Diwali: the Hindu, Jain, Sikh and Buddhist festival of lights, which symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and nirvana of Lord Mahavira. The Gujarati New Year starts on Kartak Sud Ekam. The date of 16 November 2020 of the Gregorian calendar was celebrated by Jains as the 2547th New Year's Day. During the times of Hemchandracharya, the entire Gujarati community began celebrating this day as New Year. Jains spend the day by wishing relatives well, visiting temples, reading scriptures, meditating and rescuing animals from slaughter houses.
