Ganesh Chaturthi

As part of the Ganapati celebrations, awareness programs were organized in EArtH Adopted villages to promote worship of clay Ganesha. A day before the festival, a rally with children educated villagers about the benefits of clay Ganesha and the disadvantages of colored idols, supported by awareness displays in central locations. Children brought clay to school, where they crafted and decorated Ganesha idols with flowers and small trees after lunch. Each morning during Navratras, the children adorned and worshipped Lord Ganesha before the pledge. On the final day, children, teachers, and EArtH staff celebrated with kolatam and danced during the immersion of Lord Ganesha, engaging all EArtH Adopted schools in the festivities.
