Contexto cultural
Sunday closures are a legacy of both colonial influence and labor laws in India. While modern malls stay open 24/7, local 'Kirana' (grocery) stores and traditional markets still treat Sunday as a sacred day for rest and family. In some cities, the 'off day' is rotated by neighborhood to ensure at least one market is always open nearby.
The 'Itvar' Alternative
In North India, many people say `Itvar` instead of `Ravivar`. It is slightly more casual and very common in Bollywood songs!
Grammar Trap
Remember that `dukan` (shop) is feminine. If you are talking about a `daftar` (office), which is masculine, you should say `rehta hai` instead of `rehti hai`.

What It Means
This phrase is your go-to for checking business hours. It literally means 'it remains closed on Sunday.' The word ravivar means Sunday. The word band means closed. The ending rehti hai suggests a habitual state. It is not just closed today. It is closed every single Sunday.
How To Use It
You can use this as a full sentence. If someone asks if a shop is open, just say ravivar ko band rehti hai. You can swap ravivar for any other day. For example, use somvar for Monday. It is very flexible and easy to remember. Just remember that shops are usually feminine in Hindi grammar. That is why we use rehti instead of rehta.
When To Use It
Use it when planning a shopping trip with friends. Use it when checking if a government office is open. It is perfect for texting someone a heads-up. 'Don't go there today, it is Sunday!' You will see this written on boards outside small family-owned shops. It is also common in professional emails regarding office timings.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for people. You cannot say a person is band unless they are being very quiet! Also, do not use it for temporary closures. If a shop is closed for lunch, use abhi band hai. This phrase is specifically for recurring weekly holidays. If you are at a high-end mall, they might stay open. In those cases, this phrase would be incorrect.
Cultural Background
In India, Sunday is the universal day off. Most local markets, or 'bazaars', follow this strictly. However, some specific markets have different 'off days'. For example, some Delhi markets close on Mondays. This phrase is the heartbeat of Indian commerce planning. It represents the collective sigh of relief for workers. It is the day for family, cricket, and heavy lunches.
Common Variations
You might hear itvar instead of ravivar. Itvar is the more colloquial, Urdu-influenced word for Sunday. You might also hear ravivar ko chutti hai. This means 'It is a holiday on Sunday.' Another common one is dukan itvar ko nahi khulti. This means 'The shop does not open on Sunday.' They all convey the same disappointing news for a shopper!
Notas de uso
The phrase is neutral and safe for all situations. The main thing to watch is the gender agreement of the subject (e.g., `dukan` is feminine, `bazaar` is masculine).
The 'Itvar' Alternative
In North India, many people say `Itvar` instead of `Ravivar`. It is slightly more casual and very common in Bollywood songs!
Grammar Trap
Remember that `dukan` (shop) is feminine. If you are talking about a `daftar` (office), which is masculine, you should say `rehta hai` instead of `rehti hai`.
The 'Half-Day' Saturday
Many Indian offices follow a 'Half-Day' on Saturday. If you hear `Shanivar ko half-day hai`, it means they close around 2 PM!
