Dussehra Celebration

Dussehra, which marks the victory of good over evil was celebrated with traditional zeal and zest at DPS-JC on Thursday, 10th October 2013. Starting with a vibrant tableau from the Ramayana in the morning assembly, the celebration reached its crescendo with the destruction of an image of Ravana, the personification of evil in the school grounds, in the presence of an animated crowd of students, who enjoyed every moment of the display.Shortly before this, a dance drama based on significant events from the Ramcharitmanas was presented by the tiny tots from pre-primary assisted by a few seniors from class 6 and 8. They brought to life scenes from Lord Ram’s childhood, his wedding (Sita Swayamwar), his years of exile, the abduction of Sita, and atlast the slaying of Ravan.
Senior students, meanwhile, presented a skit based on the incident of the golden deer from the Ramayana. The programme was presented to the accompaniment of verses from the Ramcharitmanas, adding a spiritually uplifting dimension to the entire spectacle. Shri Narayan Das Swamiji, blessed the occasion with his presence, along with institution’s President Mr. Raj Kishore Dewangan, Principal Mrs. Chetna Sharma and Headmaster Mr. R.K. Tripathi.
