Well then! First, let us know what is a dry day. Dry Days are days when alcohol is not sold in public spaces and is not available for consumption for people. Bars, pubs, and liquor shops remain shut on dry days. India observes dry days during national holidays and festivals like Independence Day, Republic Day, Diwali, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi among others. Most of the dry days observed in the country are to honour a religious festival and pay respect to the religious sentiments of the communities. Dry days are also observed during election days. Republic Day Parade 2023 Live Streaming: Watch Live Coverage of National Flag Unfurling and March Past at Kartavya Path in Delhi on India’s 74th Gantantra Diwas.
