Bank Holiday Today:- Every year, there is a holiday on Muharram in India. The Muslim community celebrates the Muharram Festival with great pomp and ceremony. There is confusion among the people about the day of Muharram. People were in confusion whether the Muharram holiday would be on July 6 or July 7? The auspicious day of Muharram depends on the position of the moon. The date of Muharram is determined by the sighting of the moon, based on the Islamic calendar. The 10th day of Muharram, i.e., Ashura, was celebrated on July 6, 2025. However, in some states, July 7, 2025 (Monday) has also been declared a public holiday.
