In the religious system of the Hindus the festival of Navratri speaks volumes the Goddess Mother Aadi-shakti in the form of the very cosmic energy of the entire universe. It is celebrated for the period of nine nights, on which nine different divine forms of the Goddess Mother are venerated heartily. Mostly in the Hindu religion such gods as Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Lord Sooryadev and Goddess mother are worshipped heartily. In the very life of everybody the place of mother is quite superior to that of the bread-winner of the family i.e. the father. Mother is one of the causal antecedents of everybody under the sky, who imparts every aspect of civilized life in the offspring. In the same way the very veneration of the goddess mother is held significant.
As part of the celebration of the Ashta-dashabdi Mahotsava of Shree Gozaria Kelavani Mandal, the programme of celebrating the Navratri Mahotsava of all the institutions under the umbrella of Shree Gozaria Kelavani Mandal was held on the very spacious play-ground under the presiding preparations of NGAC, Gozaria. Students of all the institutions represented their respective institutions in traditional attires. As the programme aimed at the enjoyment of the students, they zealously participated in it. The programme was commenced with the the introduction-felicitation of the guests and the auspicious lighting of the lamps subsequently.
After worshipping the Goddess Mother through ‘arati’ in the invaluable presence of honourable guests, the garbas in the characteristic style of Navratri got off the mark along with the musical accompaniment of DJ. The players enjoyed the garbas constantly for the two hours. Various dignitaries declared their donations for the Ashta-dashabdi Mahotsava of Shree Gozaria Kelavani Mandal. The convener of the Ashta-dashabdi Mahotsava of Shree Gozaria Kelavani Mandal, Shree J.N.Patel, heartily acknowledged all the donors. Professor Ashokbhai Patel, member of the executive committee of the managing body attempted his level best to render success to the said programme. Among the attractions of the programme are included the beautiful staging and garba-playing arrangement, distinctively separate for each educational institution. At the very close of the programme all the winners were given prizes and everybody left the venue with the ‘prasada’ of Bundi.
The entire teaching and non-teaching staff of the college, under the leadership of Principal Dr. G.C.Barot, remained hyper-active to bring glory to this programme under their presiding arrangement
