“Light a lamp of love. Blast a chain of sorrow. Shoot a rocket of prosperity. Fire a flowerpot of happiness and celebrate a sparkling Diwali”.

Diwali, the festival of lights and knowledge, was celebrated with fervour, devotion, and zeal at St Joseph’s Sr Sec School, Chandigarh. The school wore a festive look to mark the celebration.

Teachers apprised the students about the history and the spiritual significance of Diwali as the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair.

Students of all blocks enthusiastically participated in a spectrum of activities wearing ethnic dresses ranging from Organic Rangoli, Candle, Diya decoration, Toran, Lantern and Wall Hanging making to mother and child duo presenting scintillating dance performances, to mark the virtual celebration showcasing amazing work of art and creativity.

An oath to mark “Green Swachh Diwali” was administered to ensure safeguarding the environment and keep it breathable for all the living beings.

Principal Ms. Monica Chawla congratulated everyone and summed her wishes in “All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of the inner light of the self. Merge yourself in this light and enjoy the festival of lights”
