Dussehra celebration @ St. Xavier’s High School, sec.81

“India is known as a land of festivals and celebration, Dussehra is one of them which is unique in its perception and significance.”

Festivals are the period of celebration and bring peace and joy for everyone. They are an expressive way to celebrate glorious heritage, culture and traditions. To enhance that among our Xaverians, St.Xavier’s High School, sec.81 organized Dusshera celebration with a lot of religious zeal and fervour. It was a plethora of fun filled and learning activities virtually which included role play by the little ones in which the children were beautifully decked up to play the role of their favourite mythological character from Ramayana with perfect poise, confidence and expression. Keeping the festive spirit alive, the teachers also presented a virtual mini-Ramayana and mythological stories to the kids, the presentation conveyed the message of victory of Lord Rama over Ravana and reinforced the message that good always triumphs over evil. Children learnt values of honesty, respect, humility and obedience, which are the core of our Indian epic, Ramayana. The celebration was glorified as the kids presented tremendous poems, dance and song performances and shloka enchantment evidently added spirituality to the ambience. Quizzes and craft activities entirely soaked the children in festive spirit. The enthusiasm of Xaverians knew no bounds as they performed virtual dandiya. All the children zealously participated and enjoyed the celebration with much ardour along with the pledge to follow the path of dharma. Thus the celebration not only enriched their learning but also made it memorable for our Xaverians which will be cherished for a long time.
