The victory of good over evil – this is the underlying message of Dussehra. The prayer that ‘May truth always triumph’ inspires this festival and symbolizes the Hindu god, Ram’s, vanquishing the ten headed demon king, Ravan.
The children wholeheartedly enjoyed making drawings and puppets relating to Dussehra. A puppet show for the Nursery sections was enthusiastically enjoyed by our little ones. Stories relating to Dussehra, and its celebrations in different ways were shared by the children.
