Kartiki Ekadashi, Guru Nanak Jayanti: 3 dry days in Mumbai
India
Heads up, Mumbai: there will be three dry days this November when alcohol sales are off-limits across the city.
Mark your calendars for Friday, November 1 (Kartiki Ekadashi), Tuesday, November 5 (Guru Nanak Jayanti), and Sunday, November 24 (Guru Tegh Bahadur Shaheedi Diwas) in 2025.
These dates line up with major religious events, so plan your parties and get-togethers accordingly.
What are dry days and why do they matter?
Dry days are set by the state to honor important festivals and observances—think of them as a way to keep things respectful and sober during big cultural moments.
In Maharashtra, these usually match up with Hindu, Sikh, or Jain celebrations.
Knowing about dry days ahead helps you avoid last-minute surprises if you're planning a night out or hosting friends.
