Festival Celebrations at BPG

Festivals at BPG are as much a part of the curriculum as Braille and mathematics. Throughout the year, students and staff come together to celebrate Gujarat's festive calendar — from Uttarayan to Diwali to Janmashtami — with music, food, and community.

These celebrations give students a sense of belonging and cultural continuity, and they are often the moments donors and volunteers are invited to share directly with the children.

Why it matters

• Builds a strong sense of community and belonging among resident students
• Keeps cultural and religious traditions alive and accessible
• Creates joyful, low-pressure opportunities for donors and volunteers to connect with students
