Will the Uttar Pradesh government announce a formal holiday for the entire state for the 12-day Krishna Janmashtami 'Braj Chaurasi Kos Parikrama' by September 10, 2026?

With the 2026 Krishna Janmashtami festivals trending across North India, there is significant local pressure on the UP government to extend official public holidays for the Braj region pilgrimage. Local religious bodies in Mathura and Vrindavan have submitted petitions for a wider administrative holiday to manage the massive influx of devotees. The market resolves YES if a formal Government Order (GO) is issued by the UP Chief Minister's Office or Home Department for a state-wide holiday specifically citing this event.
