Upcoming Bank Holidays in India: Six Days Off Next Week
Overview of Bank Holidays
India has a total of seven days in a week, and next week will see six days designated as bank holidays across various regions. These holidays include celebrations such as Beh Deen Khlam, Harela Festival, the death anniversary of Tirot Singh, Kher Puja, and the regular weekly off.
It's important to note that aside from the weekly off, most holidays are specific to local customs and do not apply uniformly across states.
