August 2026 brings several important national and religious holidays across India, offering students, employees and families an opportunity to celebrate festivals and observe public holidays. The month includes Independence Day, Milad-un-Nabi and Raksha Bandhan, along with several state-specific festivals that will result in bank closures in different parts of the country.
While schools, banks and government offices are expected to remain closed on major public holidays, the exact schedule may vary depending on state government notifications and institutional calendars.
