The visually impaired girls of the Blind Welfare Society celebrate Diwali with a joyous spirit that resonates beyond sight. Their festivities begin with a traditional pooja to honor Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, where they pray for blessings of prosperity, courage, and protection. Each girl receives a thoughtful gift—a new dress, a warm blanket, and delicious sweets—that brings comfort and excitement to the celebration.
The girls fill the hostel with songs that beautifully capture the essence of Diwali, singing of hope, happiness, and resilience. Through these melodies, they express the light within them, a spirit that Diwali so profoundly symbolizes. Despite their visual challenges, they radiate the joy and togetherness that make this festival meaningful. Their celebration serves as a reminder that Diwali’s true brilliance lies in the warmth of community, shared joy, and the inner light that illuminates the darkest paths.
