On another tack, on a recent posting about calendars, you mentioned that you use a mixed sun and moon based calendar. That sounds very complex. Anyway, I was wondering if you know any home-grown algorithm for calculating the Indian public holidays we have in Malaysia; namely Thaipusam and Deepavali. I received the following inquiry from a Muslim friend... >For my courses, I create a 2 year calendar with predictions for the public >holidays in the year ahead (e.g. 1996&1997, 1997&1998). > >Muslim dates are easy to predict; just subtract 11 days from the current >holidays and there are next year's dates within a day. But the Indian >holidays seem to jump all over the calendar! So do you know any algorithm >that can calculate Thaipusam and Deepavali for next year from this year's >dates? If we can come up with a scheme, then maybe our other JARING members >would find it useful. I have records of dates of public holidays from 1991 >onwards if that would help. Can anyone who has knowledge of the Hindu calendar system advise on this? TIA. SV Singam Minden, Penang
