Data was collected for each of the five selected festivals from books and information through family. Data was collected on their:
Significance
Date (Tithi)
Rituals (Practical information needed for practice)
Fig 4 shows the initial data collected for one of the festivals - Sakat Chauth.

I also looked at existing documentations of Indian festivals. These were mapped onto the English calendar by Drik Panchang (2021) (see Fig 5).
