Lord
Ganesha marks his special significance in Hindu culture and celebrations. The
deity with numerous names is worshiped across the nation and when it comes to
Ganesh Chaturthi, cities, towns and villages go crazy in celebrations called ‘Ganges
Mahotsav’. Sarvanaman Vidya Mandir was not an exception to it and joyous celebrations extended to five
days. On the first day, that is, on the day of Ganges Chaturthi, the idol of
Lord Ganesha was installed in the
assembly hall of the school amidst students’ calling out slogans in praise of
Lord Ganesha. Auspicious and divine
environment kept evolving whenever aarti was performed in the evenings.
On
September 23, the fifth day after the installation, the idol of Lord Ganesha was taken out in
great procession for immersion. After
performing puja and aarti, the teachers carried the idol to Narmada Ghat of
Nilkantheswar Temple, followed by all the students of the school who liberate
their vocal cords shouting ‘Ganpati Bapa Moriya’ requesting the lord to come
soon the next year. The five days celebration fetched a happy change in school
routine and, at the same time, drew the students nearer to indian traditions
and customs.
