On Saturday, ISR was transformed into a vibrant sea of colors, traditional Indian attire, and enticing aromas. Hundreds of visitors gathered for Diwali Mela to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights, – organized by our unique Indian Community at ISR!
The diverse program offered something for everyone: from captivating Bollywood dances and enchanting songs to a lovingly narrated story of Diwali that introduced international guests to the festival’s significance. A highlight was the impressive Heritage Walk, showcasing various regions of India through their traditional wears, dances, and music. Alongside the engaging stage program, numerous food stalls tempted visitors with a wide array of Indian cuisine, demonstrating the country’s culinary diversity. Additionally, stalls featuring henna art, handicrafts, Indian garments, paintings, jewelry, and more invited guests to immerse themselves in Indian culture.
A beautifully crafted Rangoli, prepared by our Indian Community at ISR, provided the perfect backdrop for memorable photos. We are confident that this day will remain a cherished memory for all participants, with or without photographs!
Our heartfelt thanks go to our Indian Community, the Indian Community Representatives Mrs. Raja and Mrs. Verma, as well as Mrs. Sharma, ISR’s External Exams Coordinator, for sharing their unique culture and the beautiful meaning of the Diwali Festival.
At ISR, we consider it a privilege to have 60 different nationalities as part of our kindergarten and school community. It is all the more significant that various traditions and cultures are celebrated, allowing children to appreciate the value of this internationality at ISR from an early age.
We are already looking forward to many more festivals with our Indian Community at ISR and wish all our Indian families and friends a Happy Diwali.
