02
Tribal festival days
Chhattisgarh recognises tribal festivals such as Hareli and the famous Bastar Dussehra. Plan staffing around the August Hareli and the long Bastar Dussehra period.

Private employers grant paid public holidays per the Chhattisgarh Shops and Establishments Act and policy. Typical practice is 12 to 15 paid holidays plus weekly offs.
