On the last day before the Diwali vacation, 6th November, the KG building entrance was draped with different themes of Diwali – Vasubaras, Bhau Beej, Laxmi poojan, and Padwa. To make it even more colourful – that too the ecological way – the centre porch was decorated with all waste materials like crayons, crayon crush, pencils, erasers, pencil carvings, painting brushes and sharpeners. Cute little diyas made by the kids were also used as a part of the decoration.
The kids came in traditional dresses which made the ambience look even more beautiful. They danced merrily to the tunes of Diwali songs, and had ‘Diwali pharal’ as snacks. To uplift the spirit of Diwali, children were shown short films like Raavana-vadh. They were then given a chance to try their hands on making rangolis.
It was indeed a fun-filled Diwali party celebrated in a ‘dhamakedar’ style. The kids not just learned about our tradition but also enjoyed the spirit of it all. Different classes had prepared different styles of lanterns which the kids took home on this day after wishing their teachers and friends a very “Happy Diwali” and bidding each other a long farewell.
