Children received ample holidays in October due to festivals like Dussehra, Diwali, and Karva Chauth. But do you know how many holidays will be in November? Let's find out.

Important occasions like Guru Nanak Jayanti, Children's Day, Kartik Purnima, and Guru Teg Bahadur Martyrdom Day are coming up in November 2025. Although school holidays will be slightly shorter this month compared to October, students may receive approximately eight days off due to festivals and Sundays.

First, Guru Nanak Jayanti will be celebrated on November 5th. This day is celebrated with reverence across the country as the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Guru of the Sikh community. Schools are likely to be closed on this day in states like Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and West Bengal.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Martyrdom Day will be observed on November 24th (Monday). This day commemorates the martyrdom of the ninth Guru of Sikhism. Schools will be closed on this day in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, while most schools in South and Western India may remain open.

The festival of Kartik Purnima also holds special significance in the month of November. This day is considered highly auspicious from a religious perspective, and due to fairs and religious events in many parts of the country, some schools may be declared local holidays.

Additionally, students will also benefit from the Sundays in November. This year, there are five Sundays in November (November 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30). This means that there is one holiday each week. Some schools also offer half-day holidays on Saturdays or on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month, giving students an additional break.
