Festival Celebrations at BPG
Culture, joy and togetherness, all year round.
Community
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
