Diwali Celebrations


The festival of lights, Diwali is fast approaching.  On this occasion Orchids -The International School had a spectacular assembly organized  by the primary section. It was quite informative referring to the reasons behind the celebrations of the festival, one of them being the victory of Lord Krishna and Satyabhama over Narakasura-the demon.
After 14 years of exile, Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya with Sita and  Lakshmana after killing Ravanasura. The day of the return is celebrated with pomp and pleasure with lighting of lamps and bursting of crackers.
The triumph of good over evil was depicted by the enactment of the two reasons.
It was a delight to see the primary children in the roles of mythological characters with all the necessary costumes and weapons enacting the scenes.

Enchanting dances and melodious songs by the pre-primary children followed. The special assembly was a recollection of the mythological stories which have an immense significance in the celebration of the ‘festival of lights’- Diwali.
