Kerala Public Holidays 2024

Public holidays in Kerala reflect the cultural, religious, and social diversity of the state. Known for its rich traditions and festivals, Kerala’s public holidays include a mix of national events, religious festivals, and regional celebrations. National holidays such as Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti are observed across the state, with schools, banks, and government offices closing to allow citizens to take part in these important days.

Kerala’s unique identity is showcased through local festivals like Onam, the state’s harvest festival, which is celebrated with great enthusiasm. Vishu, marking the Malayalam New Year, and Thiruvonam, the most auspicious day of the Onam festival, hold significant cultural importance in the state. Religious holidays such as Eid, Maha Shivaratri, and Christmas highlight the state’s religious diversity, as people from different communities come together to celebrate their beliefs and traditions.

The government of Kerala ensures that public holidays cater to all communities, with flexibility for employees to take additional holidays for specific religious or cultural observances. This makes Kerala a vibrant state that respects and honors the diversity of its people through a range of public holidays.
