The first day of the nine-day Navaratri festival is dedicated to Goddess Shailaputri, known as the “daughter of the mountains.” Her name combines the Sanskrit words ‘Shaila,’ meaning rock, and ‘Putri,’ meaning daughter. Our students performed Devi Pooja, organized by the cultural committee, allowing them to connect directly with their cultural heritage.
Our school celebrated Navaratri with a meaningful yet focused approach, preserving the festive spirit while maintaining academic priorities. The two main activities were a notice board decoration and a video presentation. The notice board showcased the nine forms of Goddess Durga, with each form beautifully illustrated and accompanied by descriptions of its significance. Students actively participated by designing and colouring these depictions.
Additionally, students performed pooja at home and recorded these moments, which were compiled into a celebratory video capturing the essence of Navaratri. This approach fostered devotion and family engagement and was warmly received by students and parents alike, reflecting the school’s dedication to holistic development.
