FAQs on Uttarakhand Holidays in 2027
Harela on Friday, 16 July runs straight into the weekend for three days off. Diwali on Friday, 29 October and Govardhan Puja on Saturday, 30 October do the same, giving three consecutive days through Sunday, 31 October. Igas-Bagwal on Tuesday, 9 November falls midweek, so a day or two of leave on either side extends it into a longer break.
Yes. Uttarakhand has declared it a holiday annually, and it falls 11 days after Diwali, on Tuesday, 9 November 2027. As with any state-specific date, it should be treated as confirmed only once the state's 2027 order names it.
The General Administration Department in Dehradun usually issues it in November or December of the previous year, so the order is expected around late 2026. Until then, the dates on this page follow standard panchang calculations.
Uttarakhand observes 22 notified holidays in 2027: 17 central gazetted holidays observed nationwide and 5 specific to the state.
Yes. Holidays notified for Uttarakhand apply across Dehradun, Haridwar, Nainital and Haldwani, unless a specific government notification states otherwise for a particular district or town.
