Although India's main festive season usually ends with Chhath Puja in October, November also includes a few region-specific holidays. Guru Nanak Jayanti is one of the most significant holidays during this month, particularly in northern states where Sikh communities are prominent. Schools and students celebrate the occasion by learning about Guru Nanak's teachings and participating in cultural and spiritual activities. In some schools, special assemblies, songs, and speeches are held to spread his message of peace and unity.
The list of school holidays for November 2025 highlights that November 5 will be a major holiday for Guru Nanak Jayanti in many states, as Guru Nanak Jayanti 2025 is not only a school holiday but also a day of devotion, reflection, and community service for people across India. Other regions may also have holidays for local festivals and observances.
