January 2026 is especially important as it marks the beginning of the year and includes Republic Day, one of India’s most significant national holidays. Alongside this, several states observe regional festivals and cultural celebrations, making January a festive and travel-friendly month.

Being aware of public and bank holidays in advance helps people plan vacations, personal events, and even financial tasks more efficiently.
