The season of festivities is here and if you need to complete any of the bank work, it is important to know about the bank holidays. Due to Dhanteras and Diwali, several banks in India will be closed for six straight days from Saturday onwards, or October 22.

The festival of lights is widely enjoyed with much fanfare and happiness. Dhanteras, a holiday that occurs before Diwali, is another occasion when people spend money to spruce up their homes. While Dhanteras marks the beginning of the five-day holiday, Bhai Dooj is the closing day.
