The branches of all public and private sector banks in Shillong would be closed on Friday, November 13 owing to the Wangala festival or ‘100 Drums Festival’.

Wangala is a post-harvest festival celebrated by the Garo tribe. It signifies the end of the agricultural cycle and also marks giving thanks to the Sun God Misi Saljong for a bountiful harvest.

The closure has been mentioned in the Reserve Bank of India’s bank holiday calendar. There are a total of 11 bank holidays in November according to the RBI, excluding weekends.
