Building your company's Gujarat calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Gujarat, treat this list as your starting point. Add the national days your policy gives, decide whether you offer floating holidays, say in writing what happens when a holiday falls on a weekend, and publish the final calendar before the year begins. If you have offices in several states, keep one calendar for each.
For the central government list, see Central Government holiday list 2027. The Gujarat list for 2026 is at Gujarat holiday list 2026.

Gujarat 2027 holiday list (provisional), compiled from OfficeHolidays - Gujarat 2027, CalendarLabs - Gujarat holidays 2027, Public Holidays India - Gujarat and QPP Studio - Gujarat 2027, read on 10 November 2026. The Gujarat government has not published its holiday notification for 2027 yet (last checked 10 November 2026). We put this list together from OfficeHolidays - Gujarat 2027, CalendarLabs - Gujarat holidays 2027, Public Holidays India - Gujarat and QPP Studio - Gujarat 2027, and checked every festival date against the Central Government's 2027 order. Dates can change when the state notifies. We update this page as soon as it does, so check back before you plan leave or payroll, and confirm with your office circular. Weekdays were checked against the calendar. Rules last reviewed 9 November 2026.
