Indian Festival Calendar - Dates and Traditions

India celebrates more public holidays and festivals than almost any other country. The Constitution of India recognises three national holidays (Republic Day, Independence Day, Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti) and allows states to declare their own restricted and gazetted holidays. In practice, India observes over 50 significant festivals annually, spanning Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, and Jain traditions. The complexity lies in the fact that most Hindu festival dates follow the lunisolar calendar, shifting by 10-30 days relative to the Gregorian calendar every year.

Why Festival Dates Change Each Year

Hindu festivals are tied to specific tithis (lunar days), Nakshatras (stars), and solar transitions (Sankrantis). Diwali always falls on Amavasya (new moon) of Kartik month - but the corresponding Gregorian date shifts annually. Similarly, Holi falls on the Purnima of Phalguna. Regional festivals like Onam (Kerala), Pongal (Tamil Nadu), Baisakhi (Punjab), and Bihu (Assam) follow different calendrical systems, making a centralised reference tool valuable for employers, schools, and travel planners.
