India’s biggest festive season is here! The time when houses and streets of India are adorned with lights and flowers, celebrating 10 auspicious days of the victory of good over evil.
Many households will be immersed in the joy of celebration, by observing fasting, offering prayers, performing garba dance, etc.
Add a gesture of kindness to this Navratri and Dussehra by feeding 2.25 million children
During the nine days of Navratri, nine forms of goddess are worshipped, including the child form. Honour the goddess by gifting mid-day meals to schoolchildren. Your contribution protects the budding ‘future generation’ from the dangers of classroom hunger.
The culmination of the Navratri celebration coincides with Dussehra on the tenth day, reminding us of the final victory of goodness.
