Holidays are happy times that call for relaxation, enjoyment and spending quality time with friends and family. India is known for its multitude of holidays. Being a secular country, India is home to several religions that celebrate different festivals. The holiday structure in government organizations differs from that of private companies. Sunday is a regular holiday for all workplaces. Some private companies have holidays on both Saturday and Sunday, whereas Government organizations are mostly open on Saturdays. Banks usually remain closed on two Saturdays in a month and remain open on the other two. There are three national holidays in India when all organizations remain closed; these are Republic day on 26th January, Independence Day on 15th August and Gandhi Jayanti on 2nd October. Apart from these, there are regional and restricted holidays which vary from state to state. This page aims to keep you informed about the different holidays in the state of Tripura.
About Tripura
Tripura is a state in the north-eastern part of India. It shares a border with Bangladesh. It was ruled by the Tripuri dynasty for a very long time and has thus derived its name from it. The city lies in the lap of five mountain ranges called Boromura, Atharamura, Shakhan, Longtharai, and Jampui Hills and the capital of this state is Agartala. A lot of Bengali immigrants live in Tripura. The state has a population of around 36 million residents, who speak in Bengali, Kokborok, and Engish.

Tripura's culture is quite similar to that of West Bengal and thus the state mostly celebrates all popular Bengali festivals. Durgapuja is the biggest festival in Tripura, grandly celebrated over a period of ten days. Garia puja, Ganga Puja, Kharchi puja and Ker puja are typical festivals of Tripura.
Apart from the three National Holidays, each state has different regional festivals and holidays. It is important to be aware of the holidays of each state as it can help one plan effectively. People living within the state can plan their vacations or travel itineraries ahead if they know about the holiday dates. People living outside the state can accordingly book their travel tickets if they know about the holiday dates of the state where he or she wishes to travel. Residents will get to know when the banks and the government offices will remain closed. Moreover, a little more knowledge is of no harm and it is always good to be enlightened.
