Dusshera Celebrations

 

From Myth to Message: Dussehra Inspires Young Minds

To mark the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, D.A.V.  Model School organized a vibrant and meaningful celebration filled with enthusiasm, creativity and moral reflection. The event aimed to convey the timeless message that good always triumphs over evil, as depicted in the epic ‘Ramayana.’

The celebration began with a brief introduction about the significance of Dussehra, highlighting how the festival symbolizes the victory of righteousness, as Lord Rama defeated the ten-headed demon king Ravana. The program emphasized not just Ravana's defeat, but also reflected on his complex character.

A unique aspect of this year’s celebration was the focus on Ravana's unparalleled intellect, which made him a formidable ruler, an accomplished astrologer and an expert in Ayurveda. However, the celebration also served as a cautionary tale, underlining how unchecked vices can lead even the wisest astray.

To bring this message alive, students from various houses and the DPSE department participated in a series of theatrical performances. Each house was assigned a particular vice of Ravana, such as ego, anger, greed and lust. Students creatively depicted how these flaws contributed to his downfall. The performances were thought-provoking and well-rehearsed, leaving a lasting impact on the audience.

The celebration concluded with a thoughtful address by Principal Anuja Sharma, who commended the students and teachers for their efforts and creativity. She urged everyone to draw inspiration from the event and reflect on the lessons from Ravana’s life — to pursue knowledge and wisdom, yet remain humble, disciplined and virtuous.
