Falling on a weekend in 2026: Missionary Day (Sunday, 11 Jan), Eid al-Fitr (Saturday, 21 Mar), Independence Day (Saturday, 15 Aug), Diwali (Deepavali) (Sunday, 8 Nov) and Post Christmas (Saturday, 26 Dec).

Not a public holiday in every state, but in Mizoram: Post New Year, Missionary Day, Young Mizo Association's Day, Peace Accord Day, Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl's Day, Christmas Eve, Post Christmas and New Year's Eve.

For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 18 (8 states) to 32 (Haryana). Mizoram lies in between with 26.

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.
