Bank holiday today: Mahavir Jayanti commemorates the birth of Lord Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankara of the faith.
Banks in many states across the country will remain closed for the Mahavir Jayanti holiday on April 10, 2025.
Mahavir Jayanti, also known as Mahavir Janmakalyanak, is one of the most important religious festivals for the Jain community since it commemorates the birth of Lord Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankara of the faith.
As a result, banks will be closed in Gujarat, Mizoram, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, New Delhi, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand, according to the calendar of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Mahavir Jayanti is among the several other bank holidays scheduled in April 2025, with others including Ambedkar Jayanti, Good Friday, Bohag Bihu, Basava Jayanti, and Akshaya Tritiya.
