This year on 29th May, 2025, Maharana Pratap Jayanti will be observed, marking the 485th birth anniversary of the revered Rajput King. This specific date is denoted in accordance with the Hindu calendar, i.e., Jyeshtha Shukla Tritiya.
This day holds immense cultural and historical importance, especially in Rajasthan and Himachal.
Rajasthan, being the birthplace of Maharana, resonates the day with grand celebrations, including pujas, cultural events, parades, and tributes at his memorial in Udaipur. People reflect on his life, battles, and legacy, celebrating Maharana Pratap Jayanti as a symbol of Indian valor, freedom, and resistance against oppression.
Highlighting the cultural and historical importance of the day, the banks in some states shall remain closed. Since this is a regional holiday and not a national holiday, there is a bank holiday in some states, while others may have their banks open.
The banks shall remain closed in Shimla, Himachal, and Rajasthan. The banks in Punjab shall remain functional, as there is no official declaration of a holiday in the state.
