Diwali School Holidays 2025 Telangana: Schools and colleges in Telangana are expected to be closed on October 20, 2025, for Diwali. Additionally, some institutions and companies might offer a day off on October 18 (Saturday) for Dhana Trayodashi. With October 19 being a Sunday, students and employees could enjoy a three-day festive break. Telangana students might also get an extra holiday on October 21, 2025, after Diwali, though this is yet to be officially confirmed. 

Diwali, a significant Hindu festival, commemorates Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya after a 14-year exile, following his victory over the evil Lord Ravana and the rescue of Goddess Sita. It symbolizes the triumph of Dharma over Adharma.
