In India, bank holidays vary by state, and today, January 16, 2025, is a bank holiday in Tamil Nadu for Uzhavar Thirunal, a public holiday dedicated to farmers. However, banks in other states will remain open as usual.
Uzhavar Thirunal, also known as the “Day of the Farmers,” is a harvest-end thanksgiving celebration in Tamil Nadu. It is a day to honor the cattle that help farmers with food production and fertilizer. The holiday is marked by festivities, with women singing and dancing, and decorating their homes.
Bank customers are advised to check their state’s holiday schedule before visiting a bank. Additionally, with the growth of digital banking, customers are encouraged to use online services for convenience, enabling them to perform transactions such as fund transfers, bill payments, and investments without needing to visit a branch.
