Holi 2025 School Holidays: Check State Wise Dates List Here

HOLI Holidays 2025: In much of India, Holi will be celebrated on March 14 this year. The celebration will be observed with the closure of the majority of educational institutions. However, children are unsure of how long the Holi holidays would go. Although the event is observed all over the country, North India is where its significance is most noticeable. Preparations for Holi usually start a week or ten days prior to the festival in states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and a few others in the northern area. Let's see how many holidays each state has set aside for Holi.

Delhi School Holiday Duration: On March 13 and 14, schools in the nation's capital, Delhi, will be closed. However, the holiday can stretch over these dates because a lot of Delhi's educational institutions have a five-day workweek. There is a possibility that Delhi's schools would stay closed until March 16th, making for a four-day holiday.

Uttar Pradesh School Holidays: Holi is a hugely significant holiday in Mathura and Vrindavan, not just in Uttar Pradesh but throughout India. Due to the significance of festivities, Uttar Pradesh will also observe Holi holidays from March 13 to 16. While Holi of Colors will be celebrated on March 14, Holika Dahan will be a holiday on March 13. In the state, Bhai Dooj is a unique celebration that will take place on March 15. March 16 is a Sunday, thus it will be a holiday.

Rajasthan School Holidays: Government offices, banks, and schools in Rajasthan will be closed from March 13 (Thursday) to March 16 (Sunday) in observance of Holi. March 13 will mark Holika Dahan, while March 14 will mark Holi of Colors. March 15 is a Saturday, thus it will be a weekly holiday. March 16 is a Sunday, so there will be four days of holidays in a row. However, for confirmed information, get in touch with your particular college or school.

Madhya Pradesh School Holidays: In Madhya Pradesh, schools will also be closed for a duration of two days. The Holi holiday is set for March 13 and 14 in Bhopal and Indore.

Bihar and Jharkhand School Holidays: Holi is celebrated with considerable fervor in Bihar and Jharkhand, similar to other regions. Consequently, both states will observe a two-day holiday in honor of the festival.

Punjab and Haryana School Holidays: Likewise, both Punjab and Haryana are celebrating the Holi festivities with a two-day holiday.

Telangana and Andhra Pradesh School Holidays: March 14 is a Friday, and the state government of Telangana has formally declared it a vacation for all schools. That date also happens to be the event this year. Since March 15 falls on a Saturday, some educational institutions might decide to hold half-day classes or announce an extra holiday. In Telangana, educators and learners will thus take a long three-day vacation, with Sunday coming right after.

Karnataka and Other States School Holidays: In the interaction of festivals, weather patterns, and other events, state governments regularly modify the school calendar. Each state sets its own rules for public holidays, even though Karnataka and a few other states customarily commemorate Holi as a school holiday.
