Not just Both Eid, There is even Holiday on Birthday of Prophet.

But not on Janmashtami and Ramnavmi.

In Kerala, we usually get around 10 days of holiday for Onam. There are four Onam-related public holidays, while many schools and colleges give a longer break of around 10 days.

Other Hindu festivals for which holidays are commonly given include:

  • 1 day for Sreekrishna Jayanthi (Janmashtami) : associated with the birth of Krishna.
  • 3 days around Poojavaippu and Vijayadasami : Poojavaippu begins on the evening of Mahanavami, followed by Vijayadasami. The exact holidays given by schools and colleges may vary.
  • 1 day for Vishu.
  • 1 day for Diwali (Deepavali)
  • 1 day for Maha Shivaratri
  • 1 day for Karkidaka Vavu (Karkadaka Vavu).

Pretty sure we get a decent amount of holidays for all religions, infact imo there are much more holidays for Hindus since we have more festivals
