School Holidays Demand Grows Ahead of Medaram Mahajatara 2026; Government Decision Awaited

Devotees gather at Medaram ahead of the grand Mahajatara 2026 celebrations.

The Medaram Mahajatara 2026 festival events will start tomorrow and last for four days throughout the state. The historic tribal festival will attract thousands of devotees who will attend the Medaram Mahajatara festival.

Parents want the government to declare school holidays during the Mahajatara period because of the extensive preparations that are currently taking place. Many families wish to visit Medaram together and believe that official holidays would allow students to participate in the culturally significant event without academic pressure.

Parents argue that since the state government itself is organizing the festival with great importance and wide arrangements, declaring holidays for schools would be appropriate. The event provides students with a valuable chance to observe and participate in one of the nation’s biggest religious festivals.

The government has not yet issued any official statement about school closures for the Medaram festival. The government will make its final decision about the situation today or tomorrow which has created suspense among parents and students and school officials.
