Weekend Holiday Status
*If today or tomorrow falls on Saturday or Sunday, it is usually a weekly off. However, weekends are not considered government-declared public holidays unless an official notification is issued. **Banks and government offices are closed on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, while Sundays are weekly offs but count as a public holiday only if officially declared.
Tripura’s holiday calendar joins Bengali festival tradition with the observances of its nineteen tribal communities. Durga Puja is the year’s biggest event, while Kharchi Puja in July, the week-long worship of fourteen deities at Old Agartala, carries the state’s indigenous heritage.
Pooja holidays anchor Tripura’s year, with Durga Puja in October 2026 bringing celebrations to match neighbouring Bengal’s, including the royal-era Durgabari temple’s own traditions. Kharchi Puja and Garia Puja in April carry the tribal devotional calendar.
Bank holidays in Tripura follow the state’s Negotiable Instruments Act notification, with the Durga Puja window closing branches for the year’s longest stretch. The second and fourth Saturday and Sunday pattern holds here as well.
