The calendar above is already set to India holidays for 2029, ready to download as a PDF. Below is the full list, the weekday each holiday falls on, and the long weekends they create.

How holidays work in India

India has exactly three national holidays anchored in the constitution’s civic calendar — Republic Day (26 January), Independence Day (15 August) and Gandhi Jayanti (2 October). They are the only days off that apply to the whole country, and they are what this page and the generator mark.
Everything else works on lists: the central government publishes gazetted holidays (mandatory for its offices) and restricted holidays (each employee picks a small number) every year, and every state issues its own list on top.
The great festivals — Diwali, Holi, Eid, Onam, Durga Puja — follow lunar and lunisolar calendars, land on different dates each year and differ by state, which is why an honest national list stays short instead of guessing.

The 3 national holidays

Date	Day	Holiday
January 26	Friday	Republic Day
August 15	Wednesday	Independence Day
October 2	Tuesday	Gandhi Jayanti

These are the dates as officially observed. Where a country moves a day off because the holiday itself falls at a weekend, the moved date is the one shown, which is why a date here can differ from the traditional one.

Long weekends in 2029

Stretches of three or more days off in a row, counting weekends and nationwide public holidays together. Holidays that apply only to some regions are left out, since they would not give most people the day off.
