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 in 2020 that one will get for festivals and religious practice. This list of the holiday can differ from one state to another depending upon the state and what festivals are celebrated in the region. For example, offices, schools/colleges, banks in Kerala for Onam while in Assam they are closed for Bihu.
