Navratri celebrations are in full swing at Vatsalya's campus, with students, parents, and teachers immersed in devotion to the goddess Durga, who symbolizes victory over evil. The nine nights of Navratri are especially popular in Gujarat as an opportunity for people to dress up and dance each night with reverence through garba and dandiya. Though most teachers are from outside Gujarat, their enthusiasm for participating in the local dances is appreciated.

1. Navratri
Navratri celebrations are on full blast at Vatsalya's campus for the students,
parents and teachers! Right from the tiny tots to the highest echelons of the
school administration is seen seeped into the cauldron of devotion for the eternal
mother goddess Durga who symbolises the victory over evil in any sphere of life.
The nine shinning nights are a craze specially for the people of Gujarat, an
opportunity to be decked with finest of attires and jewelry to dance away each of
the nights with reverence. In our school most of the teaching faculty is from
outside state yet their vigour and enthusiasm for 'garba' and 'dandiya' is worth
appreciation. So ahoy! Let's sail the glittering nights with foot-tapping rhythms
and lilting tunes of 'garba' songs.
