Uttarakhand follows India's statutory holiday calendar in full — the national government sets these dates, and regional banks, public offices and schools across the state close accordingly.

When a fixed statutory public holiday falls on a weekend in Uttarakhand, government gazette decrees often designate the adjacent Monday as an official substitute non-working day.

As Uttarakhand's capital, Dehradun observes the identical statutory calendar — there's no separate capital-city holiday list distinct from the rest of Uttarakhand.
