Inter-house

Diya Decoration Competition

The Cambrian School Saadatganj conducted an Inter-House com-
petition from class 6th to 8th on “Diya Decoration”. The aim of this

competition was to promote an awareness among the students that
we decorate our homes with lights and diyas. According to the Hin-
du tradition the lighting of a Diya is an important part of prayer

and it signifies purity, goodness, good luck and power. Diwali the
festival of lights falls on the day of Amavasya or the new moon day.
So the presence of light means the non-existence of darkness and

evil forces. The festival of Diwali signifies the victory of light over
darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance and hope over
despair. The participation was compulsory for the students. The
participants decorated the diyas beautifully. They were full of zeal
and enthusiasm and tried their best performance. Their interest and

attention in this activity to excel seemed to be of par excellence.
