School holiday in Holi 2025

This year, Holi is being celebrated on 14 March in most parts of India. Most schools will be closed for Holi. However, students are confused about the number of holiday days for Holi.

While Holi is celebrated across the country, its impact is more pronounced in North India. In Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and several other states of North India, people start preparing for Holi a week or ten days in advance. Let's find out how many days of holiday will be there in different states:

Rajasthan

Holi is celebrated with great enthusiasm in Rajasthan. There may be a 3-day holiday in Rajasthan for Holi. Schools may remain closed for three consecutive days. However, for confirmed information, contact your school or college.

Uttar Pradesh

The Holi of Mathura and Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh is famous throughout India. Therefore, there will be a Holi holiday on 13-14 March in UP.

Delhi: Holiday Duration

Schools in the national capital, Delhi, will be closed on 13-14 March. However, since many schools in Delhi follow a 5-day work week, the Holi holiday here may be longer. Schools in Delhi may remain closed until 16 March, resulting in a total of 4 days holiday.

Bihar and Jharkhand

Holi is also celebrated with great enthusiasm in Bihar and Jharkhand. Therefore, there will be a two-day holiday in both states.
