Gazetted holidays for central government offices in Delhi (DoPT). States add their own holidays, and many offices work on Saturdays. Festival dates for years without a DoPT list yet are estimated from the moon.

Dates marked tentative follow the moon: Islamic holidays use the Umm al-Qura calendar and depend on the moon sighting, and festival dates for years without an official list are estimated. The official date can differ by a day.
