Falling on a weekend in 2027: Maha Shivaratri (Saturday, 6 Mar), Mahavira's Birthday (Sunday, 18 Apr), 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 Odisha: Odisha Day (Utkala Dibasa) and Maha Vishuva Sankranti / Pana Sankranti.

For comparison: in 2027 the number of public holidays ranges from 19 (8 states) to 33 (Haryana and Punjab). Odisha lies in between with 21.

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.
