Talk:Holidays in India
Is there a reason Holi is listed as Misc and not in Hindu festivals? gren
Tables
[edit]Would this page be better if tables are used instead of lists?
I made a sample one:
| Date | Holiday | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| January 1 | New Year's Day | New Year's day in the Gregorian calendar |
| Janurary 14 - 15 | Pongal | Historically, a Dravidian festival, celebrated in South India. It is a thanksgiving festival, marking the harvest. |
| Late March / Early April | Holi | Know as the festival of colors, marks the beginning of spring. More widely celebrated in Northern India, than Southern India. |
| July - August | Raksha bandhan | Celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. More widely celebrated in North India. |
