Calendar 2020: Important Holidays & Festivals

Author: -- | Last Updated: Mon 16 Dec 2019 10:15:22 AM

calendar 2020 If you know the history of Gregorian calendar, you might be aware of the fact that without an accurate calendar, seasons were falling out of place, festivals did not fall on the right date, people could not have a clear idea about important days. It was all because Julian calendar had a difference of 11 minutes in a year and after a number of years passed, it started affecting routine life. Pope had to reform the calendar in order to bridge this gap. This gap which was of 11 days now was filled by replacing the date September 2 by September 14 in the year 1752. Although there still is a gap of 26 seconds, but that is negligible as compared to 11 minutes a year. This is clear from this very statement that making a calendar is no child’s play.

We take calendars for granted and tend to forget that without a calendar, we could possibly never recall dates or celebrate festivals, at least not in unison. This thing called calendar can be of different types, depending upon the region, religion or language. But the main purpose behind making a calendar is to help you plan things beforehand. We do set reminders nowadays, for birth or marriage anniversaries. Previously people used to write these down on a calendar. Different religious institutions make their own calendars so their religious days are celebrated on the same day across the globe. Are you looking for Calendar 2020? In India alone, we have different types of calendars - Tamil calendar, Telugu calendar, Hindu calendar, Nanakshahi calendar and many more.

Let’s have a glance at how these 2020 calendars are different from each other:
