The fair is organised in honour of Guru Dronacharya, the teacher of the Kauravas and Pandavas from the Mahabharata. Celebrated on a grand scale, the event continues for around 10 days at Shri Drona Natya Shala and features several cultural programmes, activities, and competitions.
Students in India will also get a holiday on Ganesh Chaturthi, which falls next week on Wednesday, August 27. Additionally, Onam is set to begin on August 26, and schools across various states will remain closed to mark the occasion. Meanwhile, due to an IMD Red Alert warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall, all schools, colleges, training centres, and anganwadis in Thane, Panvel, Navi Mumbai, and Lonavala are closed today, August 20, 2025. However, educational institutions in Mumbai are functioning normally after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) clarified that no holiday had been announced for the city.
While Mumbai is currently under an orange alert, the neighbouring Raigad district has been placed under a red alert, with predictions of heavy to very heavy rainfall. The IMD has also forecast intense showers in parts of Thane and Palghar. Continuous downpours have caused disruptions in daily life across multiple districts, with flood-like conditions reported in low-lying areas. Meteorologists have linked this heavy rainfall to a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, combined with strengthening monsoon winds.
