Each state has its own dry day pattern. Pick yours from the list at the bottom of the page.
A dry day is a day on which the sale of alcohol is prohibited. Bars, restaurants and liquor shops cannot sell alcohol.
Gandhi Jayanti (2 October) is a dry day in every state with a fixed list. Republic Day (26 January) and Independence Day (15 August) are dry in most states, though a few close bars only part of the day.
No. Each state sets its own list, usually covering festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Eid and Good Friday, plus election dry days.
Elections add dry days anywhere. No liquor may be sold or served in a polling area for 48 hours ending when polling closes, and states usually add a counting-day closure. Exact dates are set close to each poll by the excise department or District Collector.
