FAQs on Dadra and Nagar Haveli Holidays in 2027
One: Liberation Day, on Monday, 2 August 2027, marking the territory's liberation from Portuguese rule in 1954.
Dadra and Nagar Haveli is a small Union Territory administered directly by the central government, so it doesn't run an extensive independent festival calendar the way a full state does. Liberation Day is the one fixed, well-documented civic observance specific to the territory; other locally variable festivals aren't included here since a reliable 2027 date for them isn't available.
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.
Dadra and Nagar Haveli observes 18 notified holidays in 2027 in total: 17 central gazetted holidays observed nationwide and 1 specific to the territory.
Yes. Holidays notified for Dadra and Nagar Haveli apply across Silvassa, Khanvel, Dudhni, Vasona and Dadra, unless a specific government notification states otherwise for a particular area.
