I was working towards adding a Lunar Full Moon Holiday calculator to the code, since in Sri Lanka its about 12-13 days of holidays based on the full moon.
The issue is, my code works for the Gregorian days of the Full Moon. However in Sri Lanka the holidays have a tendency to go a day forward or a day behind the actual full moon date. This happens like 20% of the time.
Turns out, there's a committee in SL that decides that and does their own calculation based on a different type of calendar. And then calls the full moon holidays a Poya day.
I contacted some government departments to see what I can learn. Until then, I removed the calculation, and some other variable holidays based on different calendars and 3rd party decisions.
I left in the ones that won't change :)
Disclaimer:
I will do some research into making it a bit more accurate.
