The calendar used by the Bahá'í Faith (a religion) is a solar calendar. Year counting starts on what, in the Gregorian Calendar, was March 21, 1844 - year 1 starts on this date. New Year is supposed to start at the equinox, but is currently made to coincide with March 21 in the Gregorian Calendar. (The equinox does not always fall on this exact date.)

ANSWER 2:

The Baha'i calendar consists of 19 months, 19 days in each, and they are named for 19 attributes of God (e.g., Glory, Perfection, Knowledge, etc.). Similar to the Jewish and Muslim lunar calendars, the Baha'i day is from sunset to sunset. The Baha'i calendar also includes four (five in leap year) "intercalary" days called Ayyam-i-Ha which fall immediately before the last Baha'i month - the month of fasting - which brings it into alignment with the Christian solar calendar. The Fast ends at sunset on March 21, the Baha'i New Year.
