India is a land of Festivals. Each culture and
region of India celebrates its own Festivals with great zeal and
enthusiasm. Recently Omkarananda Preparatory School celebrated
some of these Festivals in the form of a Model Exhibition. Some of
the most important Festivals were selected for this activity.
These included the Durga Puja from Bengal, Raj Joat Yatra from
Garhwal, Chhath Puja from Bihar, Guruparb from Punjab, Ganesh
Chaturthi from Maharashtra and other Festivals. All these
Festivals were represented through various models. The small
school students of Nursery and KG constructed their models
themselves, using waste material, thermocole, plaster of Paris,
wooden powder, sand, stones, clothes and sticks, etc. They
themselves were beautifully attired in the cultural and regional
costumes demonstrating the customs and the objects, presented in
their models.
Happy faces of the parents and the gleaming
eyes of the visitors undoubtedly rewarded the kids for their
skilled work in the form of great appreciation.
