# Holiday Calendar

> View public holidays, optional holidays, and state-specific holidays for your location.

The Holiday Calendar shows all holidays applicable to you for the current year, including national public holidays, optional holidays, and state-specific holidays based on your work location.

## Accessing the Holiday Calendar

The Holiday Calendar is not in the sidebar. Open it by its direct link (at `/my-holidays`) while you are logged in to your Omnivoo account. The calendar loads with the current year's holidays under the header "Holiday Calendar" followed by the year.

## Year Selector

Use the **year dropdown** at the top of the page to switch between years. The dropdown shows the previous year, current year, and next year.

## Holiday Types

Each holiday is tagged with a type badge so you can quickly identify its category:

| Badge        | Description                                                                                                                                |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **National** | Gazetted public holidays observed across India (for example Republic Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti).                               |
| **Optional** | Holidays where the company offers a fixed number of optional days per year. You can choose which ones to take from the available list.     |
| **State**    | Holidays specific to your work state (for example Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra). These are determined by your registered work location. |

<Info>
  The number of optional holidays you can avail in a year is set by your employer's policy. Check with your HR team or the leave policy for the exact count.

## Holiday List View

Holidays are grouped by month, with each month displayed as a separate card with a month header (e.g., "January 2026"). Within each month, each holiday entry displays:

* **Date:** The calendar date of the holiday
* **Holiday name:** The name of the holiday (e.g., Diwali, Holi, Eid)
* **Type badge:** National, Optional, or State-specific
* **Day of week:** Monday, Tuesday, etc. (shown on the right side)

Holidays are listed in chronological order within each month group.

## Filtering Holidays

Use the filter buttons at the top of the holiday list to narrow down what you see:

| Filter           | Shows                         |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **All Holidays** | All holidays for the year     |
| **National**     | Only national public holidays |
| **Optional**     | Only optional holidays        |

The active filter is highlighted with a green badge. State-specific holidays appear under the "All Holidays" filter.

## Holiday Count

A summary line at the bottom of the page shows "Showing X of Y holidays" where X is the filtered count and Y is the total number of holidays for the year.

<Tip>
  Plan your leave around long weekends by checking which holidays fall near weekends. Combining a day of leave with a holiday and a weekend can give you a 4-day break.
</Tip>

## Optional Holidays and Leave

The Holiday Calendar is a read-only reference. How optional holidays are applied depends on your employer's policy, including how many you can take in a year. If you need to take an optional holiday, request it through your leave flow - see [Requesting leave](/leave-management/requesting-leave). Check with your HR team for the exact optional-holiday count and process.

## State Holiday Assignment

Your state holidays follow the **work state** recorded in your employment details. If your work location changes, contact [contact@omnivoo.com](mailto:contact@omnivoo.com) so the correct state holidays are assigned.
