Holi Long Weekend 2027 (Mar 20–23)

Holi falls on a Monday in most states (Tuesday in Gujarat, MP and Chhattisgarh), so one leave day buys four. Holika Dahan is on the evening of Sunday 21 — the celebration really starts then.

4 days off1 leave dayMost statesSat 20 – Tue 23 Mar 2027

one day off (whichever of Mon 22 / Tue 23 Mar isn't the holiday in your state)

Holi is observed on Mon 22 Mar in most states, but Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh observe Tue 23 Mar instead. Check your state's list.

Mega break. Holi and Good Friday are in the same week in 2027 — with 3 leave days (Wed 24, Thu 25 Mar + one Holi day) you can take Sat 20 Mar – Sun 28 Mar off: 9 days. See that weekend →
