FAQs on Uttar Pradesh Holidays in 2027
Yes. The main Sandhya Arghya falls on Thursday, 4 November 2027, and Uttar Pradesh has notified Chhath as a holiday in past years. Many Purvanchal teams also take 5 November, the Usha Arghya day, as leave, and the exact notified day should be confirmed once the state's 2027 order is out.
The Diwali stretch from Friday, 29 October through Bhai Dooj on Sunday, 31 October gives a three-day run without any leave needed. Chhath Puja on Thursday, 4 November becomes a four-day break if a single day of leave is taken on the Friday after it. Maha Shivratri falls on a Saturday in 2027, so it helps six-day workplaces more than five-day ones.
The General Administration Department usually issues the shasanadesh in November or December of the previous year, typically on up.gov.in. Until then, the dates on this page follow standard panchang calculations.
