The Delhi Assembly is set to host an elaborate celebration for the Hindu New Year, Vikram Samvat 2082, on March 30. Speaker Vijender Gupta announced on Friday that the Assembly complex will be adorned with festive decorations to mark the occasion.

A key highlight of the celebrations will include a performance by renowned musician Kailash Kher, with a considerable gathering from Delhi expected to attend. Gupta emphasized the significance of this event, noting that it marks the first time the Delhi Assembly is celebrating the Hindu New Year, which is expected to become an annual tradition.

In related developments within the Assembly, Speaker Gupta addressed the procedural rules concerning 'reserved subjects'. He clarified that questions on these subjects will be addressed individually, with the Speaker holding ultimate authority in determining their admissibility. This reinforces the Assembly's commitment to transparent governance, while aligning with Article 239 AA that defines reserved subjects.

The Vikram Samvat calendar, known for its unique lunar month structure, is traditionally linked to King Vikramaditya of Ujjain, believed to have established the calendar in 57 BC. Despite historical ambiguities, the calendar remains a key cultural touchstone for many in India.
