To all our students and BGS community, we wish you a beautiful and blessed Navratri! Navratri is one of the most important festivals in the Hindu calendar.

It's celebrated all over the world, typically falling between September and October during the month of Ashvin, and lasts for nine days. Nav means nine and Ratri means nights.

This year, the festival started on Thursday 7 October and will end on Friday 15 October.
