- 28 general holidays listed; 3 fall on a Sunday (Lui-Ngai-Ni 15 Feb, Mera Chaoren Houba 11 Oct, Kut 1 Nov), leaving 25. Id-ul-Fitr, Independence Day and Nupi Lal fall on a Saturday.

Building your company's Manipur calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Manipur, 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 2026. The Manipur list for 2027 is at Manipur holiday list 2027.
