Accuracy of Information

GovernmentCalendar.org makes reasonable efforts to verify holiday information from official and authoritative sources.

However, government authorities may revise holiday dates, issue amendments or announce local and departmental holidays separately. Holidays based on religious or lunar observations may also change.
