Falling on a weekend in 2027: Guru Ravi Das's Birthday (Saturday, 20 Feb), Maha Shivaratri (Saturday, 6 Mar), Mahavira's Birthday (Sunday, 18 Apr), Lord Shri Parshuram's Birthday (Saturday, 8 May), Independence Day (Sunday, 15 Aug), Prophet's Birthday (estimated) (Sunday, 15 Aug), Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday (Saturday, 2 Oct), Dussehra (Saturday, 9 Oct), Guru Nanak's Birthday (Sunday, 14 Nov) and Christmas (Saturday, 25 Dec).

Not a public holiday in every state, but in Himachal Pradesh: Statehood Day, Guru Ravi Das's Birthday, Himachal Day, Lord Shri Parshuram's Birthday, Maharana Pratap's Birthday, Sant Kabir's Birthday and Maharishi Valmiki's Birthday.

For comparison: in 2027 the number of public holidays ranges from 19 (8 states) to 33 (Haryana and Punjab). Himachal Pradesh 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.

15 times a public holiday lies close to a weekend – with a little leave it becomes a long weekend:
