About this calendar

India Public Holidays lists the central gazetted holidays observed across India, bringing together the nationally recognised non-working days that form the baseline calendar for the Union government and many nationwide institutions. The feed is explicitly national rather than state-specific, so it centres on observances such as Republic Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti, Christmas Day, Good Friday and Ambedkar Jayanti without trying to absorb the far wider range of regional holidays that vary across states and union territories. That distinction is essential in India, where a holiday can be nationally recognised yet still sit alongside separate local schedules for administration, education and commerce. Entries are all-day observances rather than timed events, which suits a calendar used to track official closures and commemorative dates. The pattern combines fixed national markers with movable religious observances, reflecting the way the Indian public holiday year is organised at the central level. By keeping the focus on gazetted national dates, the feed works as a clean reference point for cross-state planning while leaving room for separate state calendars to handle local festivals and regional statutory days. For editors, payroll teams, transport planners and employers operating across more than one state, the Smart Calendar Feed is free to subscribe in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. That keeps central public holidays visible next to meetings, filing deadlines and travel plans without maintaining a manual list. It is particularly useful where organisations need a national baseline first and then add state-level observances as a separate planning layer. The calendar updates as each official cycle moves forward, so the recognised central holiday pattern remains aligned with the current gazetted framework.
