FAQs on Maharashtra Holidays in 2027
Several. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti falls on Friday, 19 February, running into the weekend for three days off. Good Friday (Friday, 26 March) and Diwali (Friday, 29 October) do the same. Mahavir Jayanti (Monday, 19 April) and Bakrid (Monday, 17 May) extend the weekend from the other side. Gudi Padwa and Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti both fall on a Wednesday, 7 and 14 April respectively, so a single day of leave on either side turns them into a longer break. Maharashtra Day and Ganesh Chaturthi both land on a Saturday in 2027, so employers already off on Saturdays and Sundays don't gain an extra day from either one.
Yes. Gudi Padwa, the Marathi New Year, falls on Wednesday, 7 April 2027, and is one of Maharashtra's five state-specific holidays. As with any movable festival date, it's worth confirming against the state's own 2027 notification once it is issued.
Maharashtra's General Administration Department usually issues its holiday notification toward the end of the preceding year, so the 2027 list is expected around late 2026. Until it's out, the dates on this page follow the standard panchang, so check them against the official notification once it lands.
Maharashtra observes 22 notified holidays in 2027 in total: 17 central gazetted holidays observed nationwide and 5 specific to the state.
Yes. Holidays notified for Maharashtra apply across Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur and Thane, unless a specific government notification states otherwise for a particular district or town.
