November weekend: Chhath Puja and Guru Nanak Jayanti are among the most important events this month.
The festival season brought joy and celebration and marked a wonderful end to the month. As November begins, everyone turns their attention to the calendar to see this month's holidays. Well, there is good news for everyone as November brings with it several holidays and festivals that are sure to be a treat for both kids and adults. Laxmi Puja, Chhath Puja and Guru Nanak Jayanti are among the major events this month. So if you are planning a trip, this could be the perfect time for you.
First long weekend
November marks the 11th month of the year. Although the banks will remain closed for thirteen days, only one long weekend is planned this month. There is one long weekend in November as Guru Nanak Jayanti falls on Friday, November 15. However, in order to enjoy the long weekend, you must request leave on Saturday.
Second long weekend
For those who have both weekends off, they can still enjoy a long weekend – but only if they take Friday off. Chhath Puja falls on Thursday, November 7. So if you take leave on Friday and are already free on Saturday and Sunday, you can enjoy a four-day holiday and plan a short break or a relaxing holiday during this period.

These longer breaks provide the ideal opportunity for short getaways, whether it's a relaxing beach holiday, an exciting adventure trip or a cultural exploration at home or abroad.
However, with the increased demand for travel during these periods, it is advisable to book flights and accommodation well in advance to avoid last-minute hassles and high prices. So mark your calendars, plan your itineraries and prepare to make the most of these long weekends.
Holidays in November
Meanwhile, banks will remain closed for thirteen days this month, including public holidays and regional holidays. Apart from the second and fourth Saturdays and all Sundays, banks will remain closed on eight additional public holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act. However, the banking holiday schedule in India varies from state to state depending on the festivals that the regions observe or celebrate.
As not all public holidays apply to every state and Union Territory in India, customers should regularly check the official RBI website for a detailed list of public holidays. To avoid inconvenience, individuals are advised to verify holiday dates specific to their state before visiting a bank branch.
However, customers can continue to use online banking and UPI on public holidays for a smoother and faster experience. You can also access various banking services through official banking websites, ATMs, mobile applications and internet banking.
