Milad-un-Nabi, Ganesh festivities offer long weekend for many in Hyderabad

Families in Hyderabad are looking forward to a long weekend, thanks to consecutive public holidays, Milad-un-Nabi on Friday and Ganesh idol immersion festivities on Saturday. Many schools and government offices have declared holidays for both days, and those taking Thursday off can enjoy a four-day break.

Hyderabad: A long weekend is on the cards for families in Hyderabad, paving the way for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle.

With the weather clearing up, the weekend has become a unique combination of two back-to-back holidays including Milad-un-Nabi on Friday and Ganesh idol immersion festival on Saturday.

Those looking for a longer break can take a day’s leave on Thursday and turn it into a four-day getaway with the family.

Since educational institutions have already declared holidays for both Friday and Saturday, families have enough time to plan their weekend.

Due to Milad-un-Nabi, Friday is also a bank holiday. While Saturday, September 6 is a holiday for government offices and schools due to Ganesh idol immersion festivities, it’s a regular working day for banks, since it is not a second Saturday.
