School & College Holidays in Telangana – July 2025

Below are the official and tentative holidays for educational institutions in Telangana this July:

The Muharram Holiday: 6 or 7 July?

The date of Muharram 2025 was initially a topic of discussion across Telangana. The confusion arose due to the Islamic lunar calendar, which relies on moon-sighting to mark the start of a new month.

The crescent moon was sighted in India on June 26, making June 27 the first day of Muharram. This fixed Ashura, the 10th day of Muharram and a significant day of mourning, on Sunday, July 6.

With this confirmation, schools and colleges observed the Muharram holiday on July 6. However, some institutions may also declare a compensatory holiday on Monday, July 7, depending on their internal decisions or regional administrative guidelines.
