Delhi’s holiday calendar carries national weight because the capital’s list often becomes the reference point for the rest of the country. The 2026 calendar spans Republic Day, when the city itself becomes the celebration, through Holi, Eid, Diwali and Christmas, with Chhath now among its most significant holidays given the large Purvanchali population.
