Consequently, all government and private schools in Mumbai and across the state are likely to be closed to celebrate the occasion. This festival is a major celebration in several states and, combined with the weekend, will provide a welcome three-day break. This holiday schedule, similar to those seen in past news reports, is a common feature in many school calendars.
