Sikkim State Day – Traditional Cham Dance Mask

Mural made on the occasion of Sikkim State Day

Sikkim State Day is celebrated on May 16 every year to mark the day when Sikkim became the 22nd state of India in 1975. This day is significant as it represents Sikkim’s transition from a monarchy to a democratic state within the Indian Union.

Before joining India, Sikkim was a kingdom ruled by the Chogyals. After a referendum in 1975, the people of Sikkim voted to merge with India, and the Indian government officially granted it statehood on May 16. On this day, various cultural programs, parades, and official ceremonies are held across the state to celebrate its unique heritage and progress. It is a moment of pride for the people of Sikkim, reflecting their rich traditions and development.
