editor

Gujarat government holidays 2026 are announced by the General Administration Department under notification number G5/22/2025/JSR/2025/509/GH.

Government holidays in Gujarat cover national events, major regional festivals, religious observances, and culturally significant occasions observed across the state.

The notification also identifies certain festivals that fall on Sundays and therefore are not treated as separate general holidays.

This annual holiday list helps government offices, institutions, businesses, and the public plan their schedules and activities in advance for the year 2026.
