On Monday ,September 18, 2023, our school celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi with great enthusiasm. The programme started at 8:00 a.m. The students and the teachers were equally exhilarated for the celebration. The students and their teachers came attired in their finest festive attire.
Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most popular festivals celebrated annually in India, particularly in the western states of Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat. This festival marks the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed Hindu god who is worshipped as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, and the god of new beginnings.
The festival typically falls in the month of August or September and lasts for ten days. The preparations for the festival start weeks in advance, with people cleaning and decorating their homes, purchasing new clothes, and preparing various delicacies for the occasion.
The programme started with Ganesh Vandana, followed by the traditional songs and dances by the students of different grades. The audience were thrilled with the performances. Programme was ended with a vote of thanks.
