Lines: 26 Now that there is a separate net group for Indian activities, it will be a nice idea to post the major Indian events for the year in the form of a calendar. The objective behind the calendar is to remind the net viewers about the festivals so that they send the greetings cards well ahead of the end of the festivals. I am listing in a few events; can someone insert the dates and add some events, if possible. MAJOR INDIAN EVENTS OF 1985 --------------------------- # Events Date 1. Pongal 2. Saraswatipuja 3. Ugadi (lunar calendar) 4. Ugadi (solar calendar) 5. Dussera 6. Deepavali 7. Onam 8. Janmasthami 9. Ganesha Festival 10. Ramzan The final list can be sorted according to dates or alphabetical order of the Events. It can be periodically posted once in a month.
