Diwali: Spreading the Lights of Happiness

Shine like sparkles, glow like candles and burn all the negativity like crackles. Wish you all a very lovely & cheerful Diwali.

Diwali (or Deepawali) is the Hindu festival of lights that is celebrated by Indians all over the world. It is a festival that illuminates the Earth as well as the skies and brings joy in abundance. It is a festival that unites every religion, every home, and every heart and promotes much-needed peace, harmony, and brotherhood in society.

Diwali is celebrated to welcome Goddess Lakshmi home. Rangolis are designed as one of the gestures to welcome Goddess Lakshmi. Generally, a rangoli is also bordered by a lotus design to represent Goddess Lakshmi. It is also believed that making rangolis at the entrance brings positive energy and prevents evil from entering the home. The staff members of our school enjoyed making colourful rangoli to celebrate Diwali on the school campus.
