*Nava Varsha is celebrated in India in various regions from March–April.
*The [[Iran]]ian [[Iranian calendar|New Year]], called [[Nowruz]], is the day containing the exact moment of the Northward equinox, which usually occurs on March 20 or 21, marking the start of the spring season. The [[Zoroastrian]] New Year coincides with the [[Iran]]ian New Year of [[Nowruz]] and is celebrated by the [[Parsis]] in India and by Zoroastrians and Persians across the world. In the [[Baháʼí calendar]], the new year occurs on the vernal equinox on March 20 or 21 and is called [[Baháʼí Naw-Rúz|Naw-Rúz]].

*The [[Bali]]nese New Year, based on the Saka Calendar (Balinese-Javanese Calendar), is called [[Nyepi]], and it falls on Bali's Lunar New Year (around March). It is a day of silence, fasting, and meditation: observed from 6 am until 6 am the next morning, Nyepi is a day reserved for self-reflection and as such, anything that might interfere with that purpose is restricted. Although Nyepi is a primarily Hindu holiday, non-Hindu residents of Bali observe the day of silence as well, out of respect for their fellow citizens. Even tourists are not exempt; although free to do as they wish inside their hotels, no one is allowed onto the beaches or streets, and the only airport in Bali remains closed for the entire day. The only exceptions granted are for emergency vehicles carrying those with life-threatening conditions and women about to give birth.
*[[Ugadi]] ({{langx|te|ఉగాది}}, {{langx|kn|ಯುಗಾದಿ}}); the Telugu and Kannada New Year, generally falls in the months of March or April.

*[[Gudi Padwa]] is celebrated as the first day of the [[Hindu calendar|Hindu]] year by the people of [[Maharashtra]], India and Sanskar Padwa is celebrated in [[Goa]]. This day falls in March–April and coincides with [[Ugadi]]. (see: [[Deccan]])
*The [[Sindh]]i festival of [[Cheti Chand]] is celebrated on the same day as [[Ugadi]]/[[Gudi Padwa]] to mark the celebration of the Sindhi New Year.
*The [[Thelemic]] New Year on March 20 (or on April 8 by some accounts) is usually celebrated with an invocation to [[Ra-Hoor-Khuit]], commemorating the beginning of the [[Aeon (Thelema)|New Aeon]] in 1904. It also marks the start of the twenty-two-day Thelemic holy season, which ends on the third day of the writing of [[The Book of the Law]]. This date is also known as The Feast of the Supreme Ritual. There are some{{Who|date=January 2018}} that believe the Thelemic New Year falls on either March 19, 20, or 21, depending on the vernal equinox, which is The Feast for the Equinox of the Gods on the vernal equinox of each year to commemorate the founding of Thelema in 1904. In 1904 the vernal equinox was on March 21, and it was the day after [[Aleister Crowley]] ended his Horus Invocation that brought on the new Æon and Thelemic New Year.
