Ganesh Chaturthi
is celebrated with great joy and devotion in India. People bring Lord Ganesh
Idols and worship them during the festival. Ganesh Chaturthi is considered
as the day on which Lord Ganesha comes down on earth to give blessings to his
devotees. This festival is celebrated with extreme vigor and enthusiasm
especially in Western India, specifically in Maharashtra.
Little Wittians of
Pre-primary section celebrated “Ganesh Chaturthi” festival on Wednesday, 24th August 2017.
As
a part of the celebration the kids were shown a short movie on Lord
Ganeshji explaining the importance of the festival.
The celebration
focused on having an eco friendly festival. Teachers used Clay and
plaster of Paris to make Ganesh idols. Both were individually immersed in
water. Using inquiry based learning children identified which idol
took longer to dissolve in water and therefore which would be an eco friendly
material.
The spirit and the
enthusiasm of the festival was enhanced with the shlokhs and songs of
Lord Ganesha.
