Besides Maharashtra, some states might also declare a holiday on February 19. This would depend on the policies of the local government. For Maharashtra schools, though, the holiday is a statewide affair, with government offices, schools, and colleges all remaining closed.

The holiday on February 19 will give the students a brief respite, and it will also allow them to study the life and work of Shivaji Maharaj in greater detail. The holiday is an important occurrence in the state calendar, and it is also a key element of Maharashtra's cultural heritage.
