From darkness to the light that empowers us to commit ourselves to good deeds, that which brings us closer to divinity; lights illuminate every corner of India during Diwali and the scent of incense sticks hang in the air, mingled with the sounds of fire-crackers, joy, togetherness and hope.
The celebration of Diwali,'The festival of lights' came alive at NGF Junior School when the whole school wore a festive look with Diyas, lanterns, candles and flowers adorning the school premises. The students talked about the significance of the festival - how good always conquered the evil and also about why and how Diwali is celebrated across India.
Besides sensitizing students to the ill-effects of crackers, they also shared the guidelines on being safe while bursting them. A special assembly set the ball rolling for the Diwali celebration in the school. Principal, Ms Vanita Masih gave away the message of a clean, peaceful and a bright Diwali along with best wishes and blessings to the children. The students of class 5th performed a puppet show to celebrate the joyous occasion. A Ramlila presented by the pre primary students added the perfect setting to the festivity. A melodious bhajan composition was presented by the students. The nursery students showcased the spirit of Diwali through a mesmerising dance performance. The entire show brought joy to every student's heart.
