In addition to the many religious holidays in India, there are three official state holidays:

Republic Day - January 26,

Independence Day - August 15,

The birthday of Mahatma Gandhi - October 2.

The brightest holidays at the national level are Diwali, Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi, Dussera, Pongal, Ramadan, Id-ul-Fitr and others. More details on the page "Holidays in India."
