Public holidays in Rajasthan are state-related as well as nation-related. This means Rajasthan’s public holidays for 2022 include Ghatasthapna, which is not a holiday in most of the Indian states. And Independence Day, which is a national event, is a part of Rajasthan’s general holidays. Most of the public sector organizations and private organizations keep their offices closed on Rajasthan’s public holidays. Usually, there is a holiday in schools and colleges as well.

As most of the government organizations are closed during these days, you will have to plan your government-specific work accordingly. As offices and educational institutions are closed, families look at Rajasthan’s general holidays as an opportunity to spend some quality time by going on a trip.
