Maharashtra Declares Public Holiday on January 22 for Ayodhya Ram Temple Opening

Ayodhya Ram Temple - Bombay High Court - Maharashtra government - Public Holiday

Get ready for a day off in Maharashtra! Find out why January 22 is a special holiday this year.

In a move that has delighted residents, the Maharashtra government has announced a public holiday on January 22, coinciding with the auspicious day of the Ayodhya Ram temple opening ceremony. This decision aligns with other states and central government offices that have also declared a holiday to honor this significant event. The state will witness celebrations and festivities as the idol of Lord Ram is installed in the grand temple at Shri Ram.

Meanwhile, amidst the holiday excitement, four law students in Mumbai have filed a PIL at the Bombay High Court challenging the government's declaration of the public holiday on January 22, 2024. Their action raises questions about the authority to declare holidays and the impact on educational institutions and government offices.

On the flip side, preparations are already underway in Maharashtra, with the chief minister directing the decoration of Mumbai's temples and buildings to commemorate the Ram temple consecration. The holiday announcement has also affected the academic realm, with the cancellation of exams scheduled by Savitribai Phule Pune University on January 22.

As Maharashtra gears up for a day of celebration and leisure on January 22, the public holiday serves as a tribute to the historic event of the Ayodhya Ram temple opening. Despite the legal challenge, the spirit of honor and festivity prevails, marking a memorable day for the state and its citizens.
