Navratri & Dussehra Celebration at LNCT World School
At LNCT World School, the vibrant festival of Navratri and the grand celebration of Dussehra were celebrated with immense enthusiasm and joy! The students of the primary section dressed in traditional attire brought a splash of color and festivity to the occasion.
Why Navratri is Celebrated?
Navratri is a nine-day festival dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga. It symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and the victory of light over darkness. Each day of Navratri is associated with one of the nine forms of the Goddess, and during these days, devotees offer prayers and perform rituals. The festival also emphasizes the importance of inner strength and devotion.
Why We Celebrate Dussehra?
Dussehra celebrated on the tenth day after Navratri, marks the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana. This day symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and is a reminder that truth and righteousness always prevail. The burning of effigies of Ravana signifies the destruction of negativity and the celebration of positive values in life.
Our young students enjoyed participating in the festivities, dressing up as mythological characters, and engaging in cultural performances. The energy during the Garba dance was infectious, and the school grounds echoed with excitement. It was heartening to see the students immerse themselves in the essence of the festival, learning the significance of these cultural traditions while having fun.
This celebration not only filled our hearts with joy but also reinforced the timeless values of courage, devotion, and the ultimate victory of good over evil .
