The holiday data provided on this page is for general informational and planning purposes only. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, please be aware of the following:
- Accuracy of Dates: Dates for festivals dependent on lunar calendars (e.g., Eid, Holi) are subject to change based on moon sightings or local astronomical calculations. These dates may be updated closer to the time.
- Official Verification: For any official, legal, or critical planning (such as travel bookings or business closures), we strongly recommend cross-verifying the dates with official government gazettes, circulars from the Reserve Bank of India (for bank holidays), or your respective state government calendars.
- Regional Variations: India's rich cultural diversity means that holiday observance can vary significantly between states and even between different communities within a state. A holiday listed as 'Gazetted' in one state may be a 'Restricted' holiday or not observed at all in another.
