OWHF: Enhancing Indian Holidays: National and Subdivision Accuracy with Comprehensive Localization

This project aims to improve the accuracy, completeness, and accessibility of Indian holidays in the Open World Holidays Framework (OWHF). It focuses on verifying and updating national and subdivision-level holidays using official government sources, ensuring consistency across all 28 states and 8 union territories. In addition, the project will expand localization support by providing holiday names in widely used Indian languages, making the framework more accessible to a broader user base. To enhance long-term consistency and maintainability of calendar-based holidays, the project will also introduce generator scripts for solar and lunisolar holidays. These scripts will be used to generate and validate holiday dates across extended year ranges, while keeping the runtime implementation lightweight and dependency-free. The final outcome will be a more accurate, fully localized, and scalable holiday dataset for India, aligned with real-world usage and the design principles of the holidays framework.
