Should know:Holidays falling on a Saturday or Sunday are observed on the Monday
following by banks, but not by the Government. This includes the moveable holidays below.
Apparently many offices also follow the same rule as banks.
The solilunar calendar in use is not completely understood. There is an intercalary 8th
month every few years but how it is predicted is not known. It is therefore at present
impossible to make projections. Most years, Vaisakh Buddha in Thailand falls 2 days before
the Indian Buddha Purnima but in 1996, it fell a full lunar month later. This implies a
different set of rules for observing or predicting the lunisolar New Year.
