These observances fall after March, but their creative lock dates land inside it.

  • Gudi Padwa falls 7 April — brief by 8 March (30 days lead)
  • World Health Day falls 7 April — brief by 17 March (21 days lead)
  • Baisakhi falls 13 April — brief by 19 March (25 days lead)

Year-on-year shift

  • Holi falls 18 days later than in 2026, on 22 March.

Lunar observances move against the Gregorian calendar every year. A calendar reused from 2026 will misplace these dates.
