A cultural programme to celebrate the most popular festival “Harela” was organized by Nagar Nigam, Bhimtal on 19 July 2024 at Ramleela Ground. It is celebrated in kumaun, a region of Uttarakhand. Harela is a time to express gratitude to nature and pray for a successful yield. It is believed to have been celebrated since ancient times by the people of Uttarakhand to honour nature and seek blessing for a good harvest. The festival also has religious significance as it is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati who are worshipped for prosperity and well – being. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the environment. Our school children participated in different programmes and were appreciated by Chief Guest. These were not competitive programmes.
