The festival of
lights, Diwali is fast approaching. On
this occasion Orchids -The International School had a spectacular assembly
organized by the primary section. It was
quite informative referring to the reasons behind the celebrations of the
festival, one of them being the victory of Lord Krishna and Satyabhama over Narakasura-the demon.
After 14 years
of exile, Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya with Sita and Lakshmana after killing Ravanasura. The day
of the return is celebrated with pomp and pleasure with lighting of lamps and
bursting of crackers.
The triumph of
good over evil was depicted by the enactment of the two reasons.
It was a delight
to see the primary children in the roles of mythological characters with all
the necessary costumes and weapons enacting the scenes.
Enchanting
dances and melodious songs by the pre-primary children followed. The special
assembly was a recollection of the mythological stories which have an immense
significance in the celebration of the ‘festival of lights’- Diwali.
