Overview

Rokh provides a unified interface for accessing Iranian calendar events across Jalali, Gregorian, and Hijri date systems. It lets you easily retrieve national holidays, cultural events, and religious occasions by simply passing a date. It automatically converts between calendars and return event's description. You can use it in your apps, bots, and research tools that rely on Iranian date conversions, holidays, and cultural event data.

In Farsi, Rokh is derived from Rokhdad, meaning "event." Rokh itself also means "face" and even refers to the "rook" piece in chess.

Usage

Get events

Use get_events to retrieve all Iranian calendar events for a given date. Simply specify the date (in Jalali, Gregorian, or Hijri format), and the function returns corresponding events.

>>> from rokh import get_events, DateSystem
>>> get_events(day=1, month=1, year=1403, input_date_system=DateSystem.JALALI)
# {
#    'events': {
#      'gregorian': [
#        {
#          'description': 'روز جهانی شادی',
#          'is_holiday': False
#        }
#      ],
#      'hijri': [],
#      'jalali': [
#        {
#          'description': 'جشن نوروز/جشن سال نو',
#          'is_holiday': True
#        }
#      ]
#    },
#    'gregorian_date': {'day': 20, 'month': 3, 'year': 2024},
#    'hijri_date': {'day': 10, 'month': 9, 'year': 1445},
#    'jalali_date': {'day': 1, 'month': 1, 'year': 1403},
#    'is_holiday': True,
#    'input_date_system': 'jalali',
#    'event_date_system': 'all'
# }

Get today events

Use get_today_events to retrieve today events.

>>> from rokh import get_today_events, DateSystem
>>> get_today_events()
# {
#    'events': {
#      'gregorian': [
#        {
#          'description': 'روز جهانی شادی',
#          'is_holiday': False
#        }
#      ],
#      'hijri': [],
#      'jalali': [
#        {
#          'description': 'جشن نوروز/جشن سال نو',
#          'is_holiday': True
#        }
#      ]
#    },
#    'gregorian_date': {'day': 20, 'month': 3, 'year': 2024},
#    'hijri_date': {'day': 10, 'month': 9, 'year': 1445},
#    'jalali_date': {'day': 1, 'month': 1, 'year': 1403},
#    'is_holiday': True,
#    'input_date_system': 'gregorian',
#    'event_date_system': 'all'
# }
