In the Indian context, Mehendi, also known as henna, is a paste associated with positive vibes and good luck. It’s a common knowledge that Henna is a color made from the henna plant. It’s used for temporary body art, like designs on the skin. When you put henna on your skin, it shows its best color after a while and stays for a few days. Then, it slowly fades away as your skin naturally sheds, usually within one to three weeks.
Greenwood High School, Hasanparthy, has organized the lively Mehendi competition, on January 6, 2024, exclusively for 7th to 10th-grade girl students, getting ready for the upcoming Sankranti Festival. The whole idea of competition was our students to explore and nurture traditional values, let their artistic inspiration flow, and give them a chance to showcase their artistic skills through a variety of Mehendi patterns.
Mehendi, reflecting the rich Indian culture, combines knowledge of medicinal herbs with many sentiments and beliefs. It’s believed that the deeper color of the Mehendi on the hands symbolizes profound love. In certain communities, the darkness of the Mehendi signifies the strength of the relationship.
The goal of this competition was not just to assess the drawing skills of the students but also to appreciate their creativity and their unique ways of expression, contributing to the overall personality development of the students. The Mehendi competition began with students enthusiastically joining in, each showing off these intricate and beautiful designs on their partner friend’s hands. The school grounds were all dressed up with colorful decorations and elaborate arrangements, truly embodying that festive vibe of Sankranti.
Forty-seven students enthusiastically took part in the competition and crafted beautiful designs based on different themes. Some designs were conventional, while others were unique and trendy.
During the competition, our Respected Director Sri. Dr. G. Bharadwaja Naidu sir, Greenwood General Manager – Sri. A. Prabhu Kumar sir, Academic Principal – Sri. V.V.V Naveen Kumar sir, Administrative Principal – Sri. T. Pavan Kumar sir, and Vice Principal V. Suresh Kumar sir actively participated in guiding the teachers, other staff, and students for all the arrangements, ensuring the competitionis held in a super successful manner.

The sparkling celebration of Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights which is an auspicious and widely celebrated festival in India and among Indian communities worldwide,on November 12, 2023, at Greenwood School, Hasanparthy, Hanumakonda, encapsulated cultural richness and joy highlighting the school’s commitment to embracing diversity and fostering a spirit of exclusivity among students and staff.The festival was commemorated with great zeal and enthusiasm, reflecting the cultural richness and significance of this joyous occasion.
Diwali holds multifaceted significance across various communities
Diwali holds immense cultural, religious, and historical significance for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists. The festival symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. It is a time when people come together, exchange greetings, and share joy with the lighting of oil lamps (diyas), colorful decorations, feasting, and the burning of fireworks.
Brief History Connected with the Festival
Diwali’s historical roots are deep and diverse. Diwali has various legends associated with its celebration:
1. Return of Lord Rama : One of the most popular stories linked with Diwali is the return of Lord Rama, along with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, to their kingdom Ayodhya after, 14 years of exile, defeating the demon king Ravana. The people of Ayodhya illuminated their path and the entire city with lamps to welcome their beloved prince and celebrate his return and the victory of good over evil.
2. Goddess Lakshmi’s Worship: Diwali also marks the worship of Goddess Lakshmi,the goddess of wealth and prosperity. It is believed that on the night of Diwali, Goddess Lakshmi visits homes that are well-lit and clean and bestows wealth and prosperity upon those who welcome her with clean, brightly lit homes.
3. Religious Significance : For Jains, it marks Lord Mahavira attaining nirvana, while Sikhs celebrate it as Bandi Chhor Divas, signifying the release of Guru Hargobind Ji and several Hindu kings from imprisonment.
4. The Triumph of Lord Krishna: For some, Diwali celebrates the victory of Lord Krishna over the demon Narakasura, signifying the triumph of good over evil.
The story of Satyabhama and Narakasura is an interesting mythological tale connected with Diwali. According to Hindu mythology, Narakasura was a powerful demon king who ruled the kingdom of Pragjyotishpur. He had gained immense power through a boon but became arrogant and tyrannical, causing chaos and terrorizing both humans and celestial beings.
Narakasura’s power grew to such an extent that he even imprisoned 16,000 women, including Satyabhama, the wife of Lord Krishna. Unable to bear the atrocities committed by Narakasura, Satyabhama sought Lord Krishna’s help and urged him to defeat the demon.
Lord Krishna, accompanied by Satyabhama, went to battle against Narakasura. The battle between Lord Krishna and the demon king raged fiercely. Narakasura was a formidable adversary, and the fight lasted for a prolonged period. Eventually, Lord Krishna emerged victorious, slaying Narakasura and freeing all the captives, including Satyabhama.
The defeat of Narakasura brought an end to his reign of terror, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. It is believed that this event occurred on the day before Diwali. The people rejoiced in the triumph of Lord Krishna and celebrated his victory by lighting lamps, bursting fireworks, and spreading joy and happiness throughout the kingdom.
Hence, the day when Narakasura was defeated by Lord Krishna is commemorated as Naraka Chaturdashi or Choti Diwali, which is observed on the fourteenth day of the dark fortnight in the Hindu month of Ashwin. It precedes the main day of Diwali and signifies the triumph of righteousness and the eradication of evil forces, contributing to the overall celebration of the Festival of Lights.
