FAQs on Andaman and Nicobar Islands Holidays in 2027
Twenty, on top of the 17 central gazetted holidays: New Year's Day, Makar Sankranti, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, Holika Dahan, Easter Sunday, Gudi Padava/Ugadi, Vaisakhi, Vaisakhadi/Bahag Bihu, Rath Yatra, Ganesh Chaturthi, Onam (Thiruvonam), the three days of Dussehra, Govardhan Puja, Bhai Dooj, the two days of Chhath Puja, Christmas Eve, and the Flag Hoisting by Netaji on 30 December.
Not officially. They're computed directly: fixed-date observances use the same calendar date every year, Easter Sunday is worked out from Good Friday, and the festival dates follow the standard 2027 panchang. Purely lunar observances that depend on moon sighting, mainly the Islamic-calendar ones, aren't included here because their 2027 dates can't be estimated reliably. Treat this list as a working draft until the UT Administration issues its own 2027 notification.
The UT Administration typically issues its holiday notification toward the end of the preceding year, so the 2027 list is expected around late 2026. Once it's out, the dates on this page will be checked against it and corrected where needed.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands observes 37 notified holidays in 2027 in total: 17 central gazetted holidays observed nationwide and 20 specific to the territory.
Yes. Holidays notified for Andaman and Nicobar Islands apply across Port Blair, Havelock Island, Neil Island and Ross Island, unless a specific government notification states otherwise for a particular area.
Disclaimer
These are the 2027 holiday dates as currently available. The final schedule for General and Restricted Holidays comes from the Government of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, notified under the Negotiable Instruments Act. Dates for religious festivals can shift based on moon sightings or a later government announcement. Check the latest State Gazette notification or your organization's HR policy before planning leave or financial transactions around any of these dates.
