Holidays give the opportunity to plan for a vacation, schedule vital work or any event without official leave. In India, the Union Government declares a set of government holidays for each year before it starts. These holidays include National and Regional holidays.
National Holidays are to celebrate sovereignty across the nation and apply to all states and sectors. On the other hand, regional holidays comprise important festivals and cultural days, applicable to the concerned state. Here is a complete list of government holidays in 2023.
Below are month-wise tables that consist of all government holidays in 2023, including National and State-specific holidays. The State or Regional holidays may comprise foundation days, festivals, and important days regarding eminent personalities or historical events.
