As we move into a new year, the one thing we all are curious about is the number of holidays we will get this year. While there is a fixed public holiday on Republic Day (January 26), Independence Day (August 15) and Gandhi Jayanti (October 2), there are some holidays we get for festivities and religious practice. This list of the holiday can differ from one state to another depending upon the state and what festivals are prominent in the region.
For example offices, schools/Colleges, banks in Assam are closed for Bihu while in Kerala they are closed on Onam.
The list of holidays is not only important to plan some leisure activities but also for other important tasks. So, take a look at the complete list of public holidays in 2020...
