Public holidays in Jharkhand are declared by the state government and reflect a blend of national, religious, and regional events. Apart from national holidays like Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti, Jharkhand observes several unique regional festivals such as Sarhul and Karma Puja, which are significant for the tribal communities in the state. Public offices, banks, and schools remain closed on these holidays.
Jharkhand also celebrates religious events like Maha Shivaratri, Diwali, and Eid, reflecting the state’s cultural and religious diversity. Sarhul, one of the most important holidays, is celebrated by the indigenous communities and marks the beginning of the new harvest season.
