New Delhi. In September 2026, students will get school holidays because of several festivals and weekly offs. However, holiday dates will not be the same in all states. Holidays may vary according to the official calendars of state governments, education departments and the schools concerned.
Janmashtami on September 4
Among the major holidays in September is Janmashtami, which falls on Friday, September 4, 2026. Many states and school calendars have declared a holiday on this day. For example, some schools’ official 2026-27 calendars include Janmashtami as a holiday.
Ganesh Chaturthi on September 14
Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated on Monday, September 14, 2026. Schools may remain closed for the festival in Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and some other states. However, the final decision will depend on the calendar of the respective state or school administration.
Weekend holidays in September
In addition, schools will generally remain closed on Sundays. Many schools also observe holidays on the second and fourth Saturdays, but this rule depends on each school’s own calendar.
How many holidays in Madhya Pradesh?
According to the available 2026 holiday calendar for Madhya Pradesh, Janmashtami on September 4 and Ganesh Chaturthi on September 14 are the main holidays in September. The actual holiday for schools will be decided according to the academic calendar of the relevant education department and school.
Holidays may vary by state
The most important point about school holidays in September is that the holidays will not be the same in every state. Additional holidays may also be declared on the basis of local festivals and state government orders. Students and parents should therefore check the notice issued by their school or the official holiday calendar.
