The Andhra Pradesh government has declared a general holiday on October 19, 2026, on the occasion of Maharnavami. The government issued orders to this effect recently.
In lieu of this holiday, November 14 has been designated as a working day. Despite November 14 being the second Saturday, government offices will function on that day.
This decision comes as good news for government employees, providing them an opportunity to celebrate the Maharnavami festival with their families.
However, officials and staff engaged in election duties are not exempt from work on October 19. The government clarified that they must attend to their duties as usual.
This move addresses a long-standing demand from government employees. They have expressed happiness over receiving a holiday on the festival day.
Government offices and educational institutions will operate normally on November 14. This adjustment is part of the official government calendar.
