Public Holiday: Significant news is emerging from the state of Chhattisgarh, where a public holiday has been announced for Monday, June 29. All schools, colleges, government offices, and banks will remain closed on this day. The holiday has been declared to mark Kabir Jayanti, bringing cheer to government employees. Kabir Jayanti will be celebrated with great enthusiasm across the state, and the government has officially declared a holiday for the occasion.
Since Sunday is already a holiday, people will enjoy a two-day break. According to the government order, all government and private schools, colleges, government offices, and banks will remain closed on June 29 for Kabir Jayanti. Prior to this, there was a holiday on June 26 for the festival of Muharram; now, there are two consecutive holidays following shortly after.
It is worth noting that grand events are organized across the state—including in Raipur and at major centers like Damakheda and Kabirdham—to mark Kabir Jayanti. Preparations are underway with great zeal, and followers are actively involved. The Kabirpanthi community and various ashrams organize bhajans (devotional songs), religious discourses, processions, and large-scale community feasts (bhandaras) on this day.
