Bharathi celebrated the festival of lights — Diwali, also known as Deepavali — with students from grades 6, 7, and 8 presenting a special Diwali programme. The programme elucidated how Diwali is celebrated across India's cultural landscape, amalgamating rich and varied traditions. The students explained the various customs observed on the day of the festival, emphasising the spiritual and scientific reasons. Their dance and drama performances included how people in North India celebrate the legend of Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya with his wife Sita and brother Laxmana after 14 years of exile, and how people in Eastern India celebrate Diwali as the occasion of the Goddess Kali's slaying of the demon Raktabija. The programme celebrated the triumph of inner light over spiritual darkness and highlighted that every day can be a festival if we remove evil from our thoughts and actions.
