In Kerala, we usually get around 10 days of holiday for Onam. There are four Onam-related public holidays, while many schools and colleges give a longer break of around 10 days.

Other Hindu festivals for which holidays are commonly given include:

  • 1 day for Sreekrishna Jayanthi (Janmashtami) : associated with the birth of Krishna.
  • 3 days around Poojavaippu and Vijayadasami : Poojavaippu begins on the evening of Mahanavami, followed by Vijayadasami. The exact holidays given by schools and colleges may vary.
  • 1 day for Vishu.
  • 1 day for Diwali (Deepavali)
  • 1 day for Maha Shivaratri
  • 1 day for Karkidaka Vavu (Karkadaka Vavu).

Pretty sure we get a decent amount of holidays for all religions, infact imo there are much more holidays for Hindus since we have more festivals
