Important Note for Parents and Schools
-
Id-e-Milad: This holiday, commemorating the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, is a gazetted holiday in India and is widely observed in West Bengal, which often leads to school closures.
-
Vishwakarma Puja: Celebrated in Eastern India, including West Bengal, to honor the divine architect, Lord Vishwakarma. This is a significant regional festival and is a common school holiday.
-
Durga Puja: This is the most significant festival in West Bengal, and the main celebrations span several days. While a full school holiday schedule for the festival typically extends into October, September marks the start of the main festivities. Maha Saptami and Maha Ashtami are key days of the Puja and are almost certainly declared as school holidays in the state.
-
Mahalaya Amavasya: This day marks the beginning of the Durga Puja celebrations and the end of Pitru Paksha. It is a highly significant day in the Bengali calendar and is often observed as a holiday.
The only use of this calendar is for planning. West Bengal schools' official holiday schedule is subject to change in response to announcements from the government and school administration. We advise parents and children to confirm the final, verified holiday schedule with their individual schools.
