About the Bahá'í calendar
The Badí' calendar of the Bahá'í Faith, created by the Báb and adopted by Bahá'u'lláh, has 19 months of 19 days plus four or five intercalary days, Ayyám-i-Há. Years count from 1844, and Naw-Rúz at the March equinox opens the year. Since 2015 (172 BE) the equinox has been determined for Tehran rather than fixed to 21 March, and the last month, 'Alá', is a month of fasting.
