Ghaziabad: Thakur Dwara Girls’ School Celebrates Navratri With Garba

Ghaziabad: Thakur Dwara Balika Vidyalaya organised a garba dance programme on the occasion of Navratri. The celebration was organised by the school itself, with all its students and women teachers taking part. Traditional outfits worn by the students were a highlight of the gathering at the girls’ school.

Photographs from the celebration show participants dancing together and holding colourful, decorated dandiya sticks. Brightly coloured skirts, saris and draped dupattas feature embroidered borders and patterned fabric, alongside necklaces, earrings and bangles. Pink and orange cloth streamers stretch overhead, while a red, floral-patterned carpet covers the gathering area in the school courtyard. Several participants hold striped dance sticks at waist or chest height.

Principal Mrs Poonam Sharma extended festival greetings and spoke about connecting the coming generation with its culture. She said such events should continue to nurture a sense of unity in diversity. The purpose, she explained, was to ensure that the younger generation remembers its culture and identity while moving forward. Her message linked participation in cultural celebrations with retaining that connection as students progress.

School manager Gyan Prakash Goyal also wished everyone a happy Navratri. The school committee members present included vice-president Dinesh Kumar Goyal (Sop Wale), manager Gyan Prakash Goyal, deputy manager Anil Kumar and treasurer Mohit Gupta.
