Celebrating India and America - 12 Months of 2010

Celebrating India and America - 12 Months of 2010

India America Interfaith and Social Calendar 2010

Straddling two cultures can be difficult, especially when raising children abroad or being a member of a cross-cultural and interfaith marriage. For those looking for a way to inspire cross-cultural sharing, I have created a unique India-America Cross-Cultural Interfaith and Secular Calendar entirely in English with almost 100 special observances, holidays and holy-days!

This is a unique calendar, which has been years in the making. I have compiled calendars of different faiths and cultures together in this unique, easy to read and follow 12 month, grid-style calendar that is downloadable and accessible when not online! You can print it out, hang it on the wall. Share it with your children, your neighbors, your children's teachers to promote cross-cultural sharing.

I humbly ask when you download, review and utilize the calendar to please leave me reviews on this page or the purchase page. Critical feedback will help me improve this already unique product. I call this unique as I have not yet found one like it.


Featuring public holidays of India and America sprinkled with joyous celebrations of diverse, interfaith communities:


- US and India Secular and Government
- Christian
- Protestant
- Catholic
- Jewish
- Moon Phases

Hindu Holidays with focus on -
- 'More secular holidays'
- Tamil Nadu Holidays
- Kerala Holidays
- Select others

- Select Jain Holidays
- Sikh Holidays
- Muslim/Islamic Holidays

Notes on selection of Hindu Holidays: The Kerala (Malayalam) and Tamil calendars are highlighted with pan-Hindu holidays (such as Holi and Diwali) and few other Hindu holidays of other south Indian cultures highlighted.

Note on dates: Because Hindu, Muslim and Jewish calendars are based on either sun or moon movements, some holidays may fall one day before or after stated day depending on what side of the world you are on. I have tried to note the dates for American calendars.
