The students of different streams of GHRU together celebrated Navratri on 1^st October 2022.

The theme was Bollywood Garba Night.

Navratri – as the name indicates –is a nine day festival or a nine-night festival.

The purpose of this festival (and many others around the world) is to tell us all that good wins over evil and each of us is meant to chase away wicked thoughts and replace them with good ones.

 It is a time when one engages in healthy eating and fasting and pays obeisance to the divine goddess (devi) signified by Goddess Durga with the traditional garbas. Students played Garba on Bollywood songs and enjoyed themselves.
