Significance of the Key Holidays

Understanding the festivals and days off adds more meaning to the break.

1. Guru Nanak Jayanti (Prakash Parv)

Celebrated on the full moon day of the Kartik month, this festival marks the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism. It is one of the most sacred festivals in the Sikh calendar, observed with prayers, processions (Nagar Kirtan), and community service.

2. Children's Day

Celebrated every year on November 14, this day commemorates the birth anniversary of India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. His immense love and affection for children led to the observance of this day as Children's Day, dedicated to promoting the welfare and happiness of children. Schools often host special events, cultural programs, and fun activities.

3. Guru Tegh Bahadur's Martyrdom Day

This day, observed on November 24, is a solemn occasion to honour the supreme sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, the ninth Guru of the Sikhs. He was executed for standing up for the religious freedom of others, and his martyrdom is remembered with prayers and respect.

Please be advised that this is a generalized list of holidays. The exact dates and number of holidays can vary significantly depending on your state, local district regulations, and individual school policies. Local festivals and state-specific events may lead to additional days off. Always refer to the official academic calendar provided by your child's school for the most accurate and final schedule.
