About Public Holidays in भारत
India's holiday calendar is one of the most diverse on Earth, reflecting a constitutional secularism that honours every major faith. Republic Day on January 26, Independence Day on August 15 and Gandhi Jayanti on October 2 are the three national holidays observed across all states, while the wider year follows a breathtaking variety of religious festivals: Diwali, the festival of lights; Holi, the spring festival of colour; Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha for Muslims; and the harvest festival of Pongal or Makar Sankranti in January. Each state adds its own regional celebrations, making the national calendar a mosaic.
In September 2026 there is 1 public holiday: Janmashtami (Vaishnava). In 2026, भारत observes 18 public holidays including 18 national, of which 3 fall on a weekend.
