Schools May Close in Some States on July 16 for Rath Yatra and RainPreviousNext

Schools across India may close on July 16 due to Jagannath Rath Yatra celebrations and heavy monsoon rains. Odisha, especially Puri, is expected to see widespread closures as lakhs attend the festival. Ahmedabad and parts of West Bengal and Manipur may also have school holidays or revised timings depending on local authorities. Since Rath Yatra is regionally observed, many states will have regular school schedules unless local weather or administrative decisions dictate otherwise.
