A Diwali Mela organized in school is a festive celebration that brings students, teachers, and parents together to celebrate the spirit of Diwali with joy and enthusiasm. This event not only highlights the traditional aspects of the festival but also fosters a sense of community and cultural appreciation within the school.
The mela typically includes a variety of stalls offering traditional Diwali delicacies, handmade crafts, decorative items, and games. Students often participate by setting up stalls, showcasing their creative work, or organizing fun activities. There might be competitions like rangoli-making, diya decoration, or art contests that allow students to display their artistic talents. Cultural performances, such as dance, music, and skits that reflect Diwali themes, are also common, with students from different grades taking part.
The Diwali Mela also emphasizes the importance of celebrating responsibly.
