FESTIVAL DATES

Knowing festival dates is essential in planning programmes of study, arranging visits and accommodating student’s individual religious needs.   

The Hindu calendar is lunar-solar and dates vary each year, with up to a month between the earliest and latest possible dates (by our Gregorian calendar).

Therefore, having an accurate and up-to-date calendar is essential
