I missed Diwali this year so I hunted around the internet looking for an .ics or .vcs file that I could import into my Outlook calendar. I couldn’t find any and the default holiday tool that comes with Outlook 2007 doesn’t include any Hindu holidays either. So, I made one for 2008 – 2009 (based on the dates from here) if you want to download it. It includes most of the major celebrations:
Update (9/22/2008): I’ve updated the .ics file. You can grab it here. The new file includes the remaining holidays for this year through the end of 2011. So, 2008 – 2011.

Hi, thanks for creating this it can prove very useful. But doesn’t Navaratri start on 30th Sept this year? Calendar says 19th Oct, please correct me if I’m wrong.
