Educational institutions across the state will remain closed tomorrow as the Varalakshmi Vratam holiday is observed, according to Sakshi Education.
The regional education department has announced that all schools and colleges will be shut on the day following today in observance of Varalakshmi Vratam. The notice, circulated by Sakshi Education, specifies that the closure applies to both government and private institutions.
Varalakshmi Vratam is a traditional Hindu festival dedicated to the goddess Lakshmi, celebrated primarily by women who perform rituals for family prosperity. The holiday often coincides with a public holiday in several states, prompting the suspension of regular academic activities.
Parents and students have been advised to plan accordingly, as transportation services and ancillary campus facilities will operate on a reduced schedule. Authorities have urged schools to communicate any further instructions to guardians through official channels.
