The gurpurbs and events are shown in Nanakshahi & lunar calendar. now that the sikh society is slowly moving towards its own ( nanakshahi ) calendar , it is hoped that these dates will become fixed.
Nanakshahi calendar is based from the Birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in year 1469 ( western world ).
Amavasia is the new moon and puranmasia the full moon as with most other religions the the indian calendar was based on the movements of the solar system
Sangrand ( new month )
This is the time when the sun passes from one sign of the zodiac to the next, it is the start of the new month in the Indian calendar.
The name Sangrand originates from sanskrit word - Sankranti - meaning

Sangrand falls between 12th - 16th of each particular calendar month (western calendar )
