Kanyakumari district has announced local holidays on March 4 for the Ayya Vaikundar Avathara Vizha and on March 10 for the Mandaikadu Bhagavathy Amman temple festival. Students and government employees are getting two days off!

Students are super happy about the holidays!

In Tamil Nadu, District Collectors often declare local holidays for special events like temple festivals, apart from the usual public holidays. On these days, schools, colleges, and government offices remain closed.

Holidays on March 4 and 10

The Ayya Vaikundar's Avathara Vizha is a big annual celebration. For this, districts like Kanyakumari, Thoothukudi, and Tirunelveli usually get a holiday. This year, for the 194th Avathara Thirunal, Kanyakumari has declared holidays on March 4 and 10.

Not applicable for students writing exams

The holiday on March 4 is for Ayya Vaikundar Avathara Vizha, and March 10 is for the Mandaikadu Bhagavathy Amman temple festival. But listen up, this holiday is not for students writing public exams. The schools holding exams and the staff on duty will have to work.

Saturdays declared as working days

This holiday is not declared under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, so banks will function as usual. The district treasury will also work with a small team. To make up for these days off, March 7 and 14, both Saturdays, will be working days.

Holiday for 4 districts on March 4

Students in Kanyakumari district are thrilled with these upcoming holidays. Just to note, a holiday for March 4 (Wednesday) has also been announced for Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli, and Tenkasi districts.
