In the state of Chhattisgarh, India, 1 November of every year is celebrated as Chhattisgarh Rajyotsava (Chhattisgarh Foundation Day), as a celebration of the state's official recognition in 2000. The President of India gave his consent to the Madhya Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2000 on 25 August 2000 with the Government of India setting 1 November 2000 as the day Chhattisgarh would be carved out of Madhya Pradesh.

Since then, the state government organises a five-day festival starting 1 November of every year in the capital of Chhattisgarh, Raipur.
