The term of governor's office is normally 5 years but it can be terminated earlier by dismissal by the president ( usually on the advice of the prime minister of the country) at whose pleasure the governor holds office or upon the resignation by the governor

Article156(4) Provided that a Governor shall, notwithstanding the expiration of his term, continue to hold office until his successor enters upon his office.
