PYP Learns About Janmashtami

Janmashtami was celebrated with fun and fervour in Al Rayan International School.

The excitement was in the air and everyone was curious. The event started with the parents performing a Bollywood dance which was enjoyed by all. The students then performed the childish pranks of the Krishna and his love for eating butter. This was followed by ‘ Dahi Handi’ which commemorates the innocence of childhood.


‘Dahi Handi’ is a tradition followed in the western part of India where a human pyramid is made to break a pot which is hung high. Teachers and students rehearsed the Human Pyramid and were able to coordinate and take the goodies in the pot making a almost-perfect-dahi-handi.

The event got everyone enthusiastic and it ended by distribution of laddoos, (an Indian Delicacy).



All are now awaiting the next big celebration….EID-AL-ADHA
