The festival of Diwali is celebrated with great pomp in India. However, in some states there is no provision for holidays or there are less holidays. The reason behind this is that due to cultural diversity, along with Diwali, other festivals also have importance, but the Diwali holiday has no importance. Let us tell you which are the states where children are disappointed on Diwali holidays.
Holidays are declared in different states of India on the occasion of Diwali. However, in some states there is no holiday on Diwali. This year too, Diwali holiday has not been given in many states. These mainly include Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Assam etc.
Kerala and Himachal Pradesh
In Kerala, the impact of Diwali is less and only one day off is given on 1st November. At the same time, there is no special holiday on Diwali in Himachal Pradesh.
Uttarakhand
There are holidays in Uttarakhand from November 1 to November 3, but no special holiday has been given for Diwali. Only November 1st holiday has been declared for Diwali in the schools here.
Jammu and Kashmir
There is no Diwali holiday even in hilly areas like Jammu and Kashmir. Here people give priority to their local traditions and festivals. Although people here sometimes celebrate the festival of Diwali, it is not generally recognized as a government holiday.
Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh
Other festivals have more importance in Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. Local tribal cultures have their own characteristics in the high hilly areas of Meghalaya, where other festivals are given priority over Diwali.
People of these states do not benefit
It has been seen many times in such states that even when there are no important holidays like Diwali for working people, they try to strike a balance between their work and family responsibilities. In this situation, people appeal to the authorities for a holiday, so that they can celebrate this special occasion with their loved ones.
