Traditional birth anniversaries of Gods and Goddesses are important in Hinduism, for example, those of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. So is that of elephant-headed Lord Ganesha. The marriage anniversary of Lord Shiva is important. The nine-day festival of the Mother Goddess is important. The first day of the year, though different according to different regions, is important. All these dates are calculated according to the lunar calender, so they do not synchronize with the christian calendar.

Also important are the birth anniversaries of the great teachers and sages in Hinduism and sages like that of the first Sankara, Ramanuja, Nimbarka, Madhva, Vallabha, Chaitanya, Jnaneshwar, Eknath, the Sikh gurus who are venerated even in Hinduism, Buddha, Mahavira, Dayananda Saraswati, Tukaram, Ramdas, Tulsidas, Ravidas, Meera, Thiruvalluvar, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, and Vivekananda.
