Mumbai is often called”the “City of Dreams,” is the capital city of Mumbai, which is located in the Indian state Maharashtra and is home to a number of dry days every year.
In these times, sales of alcohol is prohibited legally.These events usually fall on religious and national holidays, as well as certain events that are restricted to the state.
Dry days are of significance in the religious and cultural life of the country since they allow people to enjoy the national holidays and festivals of religion with respect and a sense of seriousness.
Furthermore the purpose of these days is to promote responsible drinking and reduce alcohol-related problems within the society.
By 2025 Mumbai has 25 consecutive dry days, during which selling alcohol is restricted within Mumbai.For special occasions like Gandhi Jayanti, Republic Day or Independence Day, dry days will be observed across the country.
However, for occasions such as Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti and Ganesh Chaturthi, the dry-day regulations only apply in Mumbai and the states of Maharashtra.
