Good to know
- On a Sunday. The list also names Independence Day / Naoroz (15 August); Milad-un-Nabi or Id-e-Milad (15 August); Onam (12 September); Dussehra (Vijay Dashmi) (10 October); Guru Nanak's Birthday (14 November). These fall on a Sunday, so they are not counted here.
- The holidays follow the 2026 Lakshadweep notification. Dates come from published 2027 calendars. Many of those are automated estimates, not government notices.
- The 2026 notification joined Pongal to Makar Sankranti. The Centre lists Pongal on 15 January, one day after Makar Sankranti, so the state may use either day.
- Dates for Eid, Muharram and Milad-un-Nabi depend on the moon and can move by a day.
- Holi is on 23 March, as in the Central Government's 2027 order. Some calendars show 22 March, so the date can differ by a day.
- Saturdays. We could not confirm which Saturdays are off for state offices, so only Sundays are counted as weekly offs.
- Source difference. Dussehra: CalendarLabs and Public Holidays India give Sunday 10 October. The Centre gives 9 October. We used 10 October.
- Source difference. Muharram: Q++Studio and the Centre give 16 June. CalendarLabs and Public Holidays India give 15 June. We used 16 June.
- Source difference. Id-ul-Fitr: 10 March in four sources; Hyring gives 9 March. We used 10 March.
- Festivals tied to the moon, such as the Eid festivals and Muharram, can move by a day. Any change is announced at short notice.
Building your company's Lakshadweep calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Lakshadweep, 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 Lakshadweep list for 2026 is at Lakshadweep holiday list 2026.

Lakshadweep 2027 holiday list (provisional), compiled from CalendarLabs, Q++Studio, Public Holidays India and Hyring, read on 10 November 2026. The Lakshadweep government has not published its holiday notification for 2027 yet (last checked 10 November 2026). We put this list together from CalendarLabs, Q++Studio, Public Holidays India and Hyring, 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.
