A Deepotsav (festival of lights) program was organized at the Barari Durga Temple premises in Bhagalpur. The event was a collaborative effort by the Tara Ganga Vikas Foundation and Manjusha Kala Prashikshan Kendra. Local residents, along with school children, actively participated in the celebration, lighting lamps and conveying a message of peace and harmony.

Naveen Singh, one of the organizers, stated that such programs strengthen social unity among children and help foster positive thinking. He emphasized that these events provide an excellent opportunity to connect children with their culture and teach them the importance of community participation.

Manoj Pandit, a guru from the Manjusha Kala Prashikshan Kendra, highlighted the significance of Deepotsav, explaining that a lamp not only symbolizes light but also the triumph of knowledge and goodwill over darkness. He encouraged children to understand how light dispels ignorance and negativity, promoting positivity and brotherhood in society. The children's involvement added a special touch to the event.
