Jharkhand ki chhutti list mein kya alag hai?

Jharkhand is one of the few states whose holiday list is shaped by Adivasi festivals: Sohrai and Khuntaw in January, Sarhul in spring, Karma with its second day Phoolkharkosi, Hul Diwas on 30 June and Birsa Munda Jayanti on 15 November, which is also the state's foundation day. Industrial festivals like Vishwakarma Puja are holidays too, reflecting the coal and steel belt.

See the Jharkhand Sarkar Calendar 2026 for the month-wise view.
