Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations - Pre Primary wing
The elephant-headed God of the beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before starting anything auspicious or important. Ganesh, Ganpati, Gajanan, Vinayaka, Ekdant, and many more – we call him by so many names. He is the God of wisdom and prosperity and is certainly a favourite among the kids. The Pre-Primary kids had a lot of fun celebrating the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. The session started with Ganesh Mantra and kids danced to the tunes of “Ganpati Bappa Morya” and “Bal Ganesh” as they welcomed Lord Ganpati. They were amazed to see the story of his birth and how he got his elephant head. They were happy to know that like them, Lord Ganesh also loved sweets like laddoos and modak. They were made aware of this 10-day long festival along with the tradition of “Visarjan” or immersion of idols. The ill-effects of idols made from plaster of Paris and the importance of switching over to eco-friendly idols were also discussed. The Pre-Nursery kids made Ganpati craft with a disposable cup. The Nursery kids made a craft related to Lord Ganesh with Kinder Joy. The Kindergarteners prepared a colourful Ganesh idol with play dough. The session was full of positivity and fun.  May the Vighnaharta take away all the troubles and bless us all with happiness and wisdom. We wish everyone a Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
