Explanation

Cheti Chand is the most significant festival of the Sindhi community, celebrated as the Sindhi New Year. It coincides with the first day of the Sindhi month of Chet (Chaitra), usually falling in March or April. The festival also commemorates the birth of Jhulelal, the Ishta Dev (community deity) of Sindhis. Hence, both statements are correct, and the reason properly explains the assertion.
