Major Holidays in 2023

  • There are some major public holidays nationwide in 2023. These include the major festivals and the national holidays of remembrance.

National Holidays

We observe three national holidays in India- republic day, independence day, and Gandhi Jayanti.

  • Republic day- This day remarks the official establishment of the Indian constitution. It is celebrated on January 26 and is declared a national public holiday. There are celebrations on the remembrance of Indian soldiers, freedom fighters, and cultural values of India. One may see the famous republic day parade at India gate!
  • Independence Day- This day commemorates the freedom of India and is on August 15. It is when the country celebrated its freedom and got free from British rule. People fly kites and celebrate nationalism all over the country.
  • Gandhi Jayanti- Also called the Bapu of India, Mahatma Gandhi was an influential figure in the fight for independence. This day is dedicated to his service and is on October 2. It is usual to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.

Major Festivals

India is known for its festivals, cultural values, and diversity. Some major festivals are celebrated in India and recognized as public holidays nationwide.

  • Holi- The festival of colors, Holi is celebrated nationwide and recognized as one of the most fun festivals. People play with water and colors and celebrate the uniqueness of each other! Although a Hindu festival, Holi is enjoyed by almost every religion. It’s majorly about fun culture rather than the root values.
  • Diwali- Did you see India light up every October- November? That’s the magic of Diwali. The festival of lights is yet another Hindu festival that people love celebrating. Diwali is all about eating, dancing, and having fun.
  • Christmas – The birth of Jesus is celebrated nationwide in India. People party, enjoy, and jam on the day of Christmas. Although a Christian festival, Christmas is celebrated nationwide.
  • New Year’s Day- All celebrate the new beginnings of the year! January 1 is recognized as a national holiday when people can spend their precious time with loved ones.

These dates may differ until the official government announcements. Plan your trips, and remember the long weekend holidays!
