Holidays in December 2018
The DoPT holiday list for 2018 is being updated.
Amanta or Purnimanta?
North India (Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Punjab) counts a lunar month from full moon to full moon (Purnimanta). Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana count it from new moon to new moon (Amanta). The tithis and festival days are the same; only the month name of the Krishna paksha differs, which is why Diwali is in Kartika in one system and in Ashwin in the other.
