Dear Parents and Well Wishers

The rich and vibrant festivals of a country are an

expressive way of celebrating its glorious heritage, culture

and traditions. The festival of lights is the grandest

among all the festivals. The illuminated ambience of the

city adds an element of charm to the festival. It is not

only unique to India, but it is interesting to know that

it is celebrated in all the continents in a spectacular way.

Be it Loi Krathong in Thailand, Keene Pumpkin festival

in America, Fiesta de la Luz in South America, Las Fellas

in Spain, Kwanzaa -African-American culture, Christmas

in the North and South poles, Vivid Sydney in Australia,

they all have one common philosophy – ‘Light’ is

associated with dispelling darkness, a celebration of the

victory of good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

This festival of lights inspires us to make the symbol of

light part of our daily life. In this era, let’s contribute

in lighting up our society by spreading happiness,

tolerance, respect, integrity along with preserving our

ancient heritage.

"If you light a

lamp for

someone else, it

will also

brighten your

path."

- Buddha.
