Independence Day

Independence Day is observed on 15/08/2026 in India. It commemorates India's independence from British rule in 1947. The day is typically marked by the Prime Minister's address from the Red Fort, flag hoisting, and tricolour displays nationwide.

For schools, offices and government bodies, this date often means half-day schedules, special assemblies, or public holidays depending on the state — worth checking your local calendar if you're planning around it.
