How public holidays work
Central government calendars and state calendars differ. Banks and schools may follow different lists. Treat any incomplete dataset as partial coverage, not as a full official gazette.

About holidays in India
National holidays
Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti are widely recognized national commemorations. Availability on this site depends on whether curated or provider rows exist for the year.
Religious & cultural observances
Diwali, Holi, Eid, and many other festivals are widely observed; state lists vary. We will not invent festival dates for India when providers omit them.
Regional variations
State holidays are common. Until India coverage is curated, this landing page may show pending availability.
Data sources & updates
India is not currently covered by Nager.Date or OpenHolidays in our discovery results. Pages explain the limitation instead of fabricating a calendar.
