Odisha Declares September 9 Holiday for Nuakhai Festival Celebrations

Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has officially declared September 9 as a public holiday in honor of the Nuakhai Festival, one of Odisha’s most significant cultural celebrations.

While Nuakhai will be observed on September 8, which falls on a Sunday, the state government has decided to extend the holiday to the following day. As a result, September 9 will be a holiday for all state government offices, magisterial courts, and educational institutions across the state.
