CELEBRATING THE LORD OF BEGINNINGS WITH ZEAL
The air was filled with festivity and devotion as our school celebrated the grand festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. The celebration began on a jubilant note with the resonant beats of the school band. Amidst rhythmic music and an atmosphere charged with reverence, our Principal Ms. Preeta Pillai carried the idol of Lord Ganesha, radiating grace as she installed it on the stage.
The idol, glowing with divine splendour, became the centre of prayer as the Puja and Aarti were performed with the heartfelt participation of all teachers. The solemn chants, the fragrance of incense, and the collective devotion created an aura of serenity and spiritual elevation.
The mood soon shifted into celebration as the students of Grades 3 to 5 enthralled the audience with a captivating Ganesh Vandana dance, their graceful steps weaving together devotion and artistry. The energy rose higher when the entire school broke into an exuberant Garba performance, transforming the campus into a vibrant arena of colour, rhythm, and joy.
Amidst this festive fervour came a moment of recognition and pride. Awards were conferred upon students for their outstanding achievements in various competitions, filling the atmosphere with applause and cheer. The highlight of the day was the announcement of the Inter-Podar Debate Competition results, where Group D was declared the champion and Group C the runner-up, both earning admiration for their eloquence and brilliance.
The celebrations concluded with the Ganesh Visarjan ritual. As the idol was carried for immersion, voices rose in chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya”, echoing with both joy and emotion. The farewell, though symbolic, reminded everyone that while the idol departs, Lord Ganesha’s blessings remain forever with us.
The day was an unforgettable fusion of devotion, culture, and exuberance, leaving every heart brimming with faith and festive spirit.
