Sikhisme : Guru Nanak (15 de abril de 1469 — 22 de setembro de 1539) foi o fundador do siquismo e o primeiro dos gurus siques. Seu nascimento é celebrado mundialmente no Kartik Puranmashi, o dia de lua cheia que cai anualmente em datas diferentes no mês de Katak, entre outubro e novembro no calendário gregoriano. Guru Nanak viajou por muitos lugares ensinando a mensagem do Deus único que vive em cada uma de suas criações e constitui a Verdade eterna.[3] Ele assentou as bases para uma plataforma espiritual, social, e política baseada na igualdade, no amor fraterno, na bondade e na virtude. É parte da crença religiosa sique que o espírito de santidade, divindade e autoridade religiosa de Guru Nanak subsistiu sobre cada um dos nove Gurus subsequentes quando a condição lhes foi passada.

Feriado secular : Subhas Chandra Bose (23 January 1897 – 18 August 1945) was an Indian nationalist whose defiant patriotism made him a hero in India, but whose attempt during World War II to rid India of British rule with the help of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan left a troubled legacy. The honorific Netaji (Hindustani: Respected Leader ), first applied in early 1942 to Bose in Germany by the Indian soldiers of the Indische Legion and by the German and Indian officials in the Special Bureau for India in Berlin, was later used throughout India.

Feriado secular : It was the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress at midnight of December 31, 1929 - January 1, 1930, that the Tri-Colour Flag was unfurled by the nationalists and a pledge taken that every year on January 26, the Independence Day would be celebrated and that the people would unceasingly strive for the establishment of a Sovereign Democratic Republic of India. The professed pledge was successfully redeemed on January 26, 1950, when the Constitution of India framed by the Constituent Assembly of India came into force, although the Independence from the British rule was achieved on August 15, 1947. It is because of this that August 15 is celebrated as Independence Day, while January 26 as Republic Day. www.indiaa2z.com

Budista (Mahayana) : Vasant means, the spring season . This is the great spring festival, falling on the fifth day of the month of Magh, the first day of spring.
