NOTE: In 1957 the Indian government adopted a uniform,
national calendar based on the Gregorian calendar and the
Shaka Era (starting in A.D. 78) for civil government purposes.
Using this calendar, the year A.D. 1995 is 1917 of the revised
Shaka Era. The Shaka calendar has been used at least since
the first century A.D. Because the Shaka calendar is based
on solar and lunar observations, some of the dates of holidays
listed below are subject to change in a given year and from
one part of India to another. The dates shown below are
from 1993 (Shaka 1915). An unofficial but widely used calendar
in North India dates from the ninth century A.D., is based
on the Vikrama Era (beginning in 57 B.C.), and starts in
Chaitra. The Muslim calendar (starting with A.D. 622) is
widely used among the Muslim population. The Buddhist calendar--based
on the death of Buddha (483 B.C.)--and the Zoroastrian calendar
(starting with 632 B.C.) are also used.
