The class presentation of Grade VIII C was titled as ‘Jatara- The Temple Festival’. It is based on Bonalu festival celebrated in Telangana in order to worship Goddess Kali. The theme of the presentation was, “You are invited to the festival of this world and your life is blessed.” The quote is by Rabindranath Tagore. It draws attention to the importance of festivals in India and how they add enriched experiences to our lives. The introductory jingle gave out the sequence of the event. The prayer was an address to Goddess Kali. It was followed by a talk on Bonalu festival stateing the origin and traditional value of the festival. The story, ‘Tenali Raman outwitting Goddess Kali’ laid emphasis on patience and humor as two factors which may open the door to success. The presentation was an attempt to state that festivals are an expressive way to celebrate our glorious heritage and culture. They add structure to our social lives and help us bond with our families and friends.
