What school holidays are in November- Significance 

Guru Nanak Jayanti 

Guru Nanak Jayanti, also known as Gurpurab, is one of the most sacred and widely celebrated festivals in Sikhism. It commemorates the birth of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. This auspicious day typically falls in the month of Kartik according to the Hindu lunar calendar, which usually corresponds to October or November in the Gregorian calendar. The celebrations of Guru Nanak Jayanti are marked by great devotion, enthusiasm, and communal gatherings. Preparations for Gurpurab often begin several days in advance with "Prabhat Pheris," early morning processions that start from Gurdwaras (Sikh temples) and proceed through various localities, accompanied by the singing of hymns and devotional songs (shabads).

Children’s Day

Children's Day in India is celebrated annually on November 14th, commemorating the birth anniversary of India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Affectionately known as "Chacha Nehru" (Uncle Nehru) among children, he had a profound love and passion for them, believing that children are the future of the nation and should be nurtured with care and affection. The celebration of Children's Day in India is a vibrant and joyous occasion, marked by various events and activities organized in schools, communities, and homes.
