Tomorrow
✓ IS HOLIDAY — Gandhi Jayanti
(2 October 2026) in Mizoram
Mizoram has declared Gandhi Jayanti as a holiday tomorrow. Check the tables below to see whether it counts as a bank, government or regional holiday.
Weekend Holiday Status
*If today or tomorrow falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is usually just a weekly off — weekends only count as a public holiday when a government notification says so.
**Banks and government offices close on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month; Sundays are a weekly off everywhere but count as a declared public holiday only if officially notified.
Two dates anchor Mizoram's calendar more than any single festival: Missionary Day on 11 January, honouring the arrival of the first missionaries in 1894, and Remna Ni on 30 June, marking the 1986 Mizo Accord that ended years of conflict. Both reflect a state that is overwhelmingly Christian and still shaped by its own peace settlement.
