# Festival dates

> The dates of Indian festivals for a year: Hindu, Tamil, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Islamic and Christian.

Hindu festivals follow the lunar calendar, so their dates move each year. They are worked out here from the positions of the sun and moon for India; Islamic dates are expected dates, as they depend on the moon being seen.
