Not a public holiday in every state, but in Haryana: Sir Chottu Ram's Birthday, Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru's Martyrdom Day, Vaisakhi, Akshay Tritiya, Lord Shri Parshuram's Birthday, Maharana Pratap's Birthday, Sant Kabir's Birthday, Shaheed Udham Singh's Martyrdom Day, Raksha Bandhan, Haryana War Heroes' Martyrdom Day, Maharaj Agrasen's Birthday, Maharishi Valmiki's Birthday, Haryana Day and Vishwakarma Day.

For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 18 (8 states) to 32 (Haryana). Haryana is among the states with the most public holidays.

Days marked "observed" are substitute days off when a holiday falls on a weekend. Holidays based on a lunar calendar can shift by a day once the official announcement is made.

Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
