Holiday List in Tripura

The list of public holidays in the state of Tripura shows how the reality of a small, efficiently run border state has played its part. The running of a state like this has always emphasized continuity and predictability. For this reason, the list of public holidays in a state like Tripura is likely to be shorter but more well-defined.

In contrast to bigger states, whose public holidays are followed with varying levels of observance in different regions, the holidays in Tripura are followed with a considerable degree of uniformity. The majority of the public holidays are aligned with the nationally recognized days or followed widely as festivals by people of certain religions.

For the common man, holidays can be noticed in the closuire of state administration, courts, and institutions of education. The private sectors typically mark holidays based on the country’s holidays and key festivals, while banks follow notifications issued by the Reserve Bank of India, which apply to the state. It can thus be noted that the holidays in Tripura are quite functional.
