Rajasthan's 2027 Holiday Calendar
Rajasthan's 2027 calendar runs on 23 notified holidays in total, 17 central gazetted days observed nationwide and 6 specific to the state.
Rajasthan's Own Additions
The holidays specific to Rajasthan are Maha Shivratri, Chetichand (Jhulelal Jayanti), Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti, Maharana Pratap Jayanti, Hariyali Teej, Govardhan Puja.
Rajasthan's 2027 calendar runs on the 17 central gazetted holidays most states observe, Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti among them, plus 6 days specific to the state. Chetichand, Maharana Pratap Jayanti and Hariyali Teej follow the Vikram Samvat calendar, so their dates may shift once the state issues its own notification. These dates follow the standard panchang and stay provisional until Rajasthan's 2027 gazette notification, expected toward the end of 2026.

FAQs on Rajasthan Holidays in 2027
Diwali on Friday, 29 October runs straight into the weekend for three days off without taking any leave. Chetichand on Thursday, 8 April can stretch into a four-day break if a single day of leave is taken on the Friday that follows. Maha Shivratri falls on a Saturday in 2027, so it doesn't add an extra day off beyond the weekend.

The General Administration Department typically issues it in November or December the year before, so Rajasthan's official 2027 order is expected toward the end of 2026. Until then, this list reflects the standard panchang placements used to plan ahead.
