Guru Nanak Foundation Public School, Sector 92, Mohali

Janmashtami was celebrated at the school. The school was well decorated for the celebration. The day commenced with lighting of lamp by the Principal, followed by ‘aarti’ and ‘bhajans’ recitation. Fragrance of flowers, soothing aroma of burning camphor filled the environment with positivity. Pre-Primary kids came dressed as Krishna and Radha and best Radha and Krishna were adjudged by the Principal. Students of classes I and II recited poems enthusiastically in praise of the Lord. Students of classes III-V tapped their feet for dance performances and enthuse energy in the environment. Dance performance of classes VI to VIII also mesmerised the audience. The Janmashtami swing was a great attraction in the celebration. A ‘dahi handi’ competition was organised for classes XI and XII. Students made a huge circle by holding their hands and raised three-layered pyramids to break ‘handis’. Principal Poonam Sharma highlighted the importance of the festival and lauded the efforts put in by the students and teachers. The function culminated with the distribution of ‘prasad’.
