The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha, Essequibo Coast Praant, brought the spirit of Diwali alive on Wednesday with its annual Inter-Secondary School Rangoli Competition, hosted at the Abram Zuil Secondary School, Abram Zuil, Region Two (Pomeroon–Supenaam).
The vibrant event featured dazzling displays of art, culture, and creativity from seven secondary schools across the region.
The competition, held in celebration of the upcoming Festival of Lights, saw students transforming the school compound into a colourful mosaic of traditional Rangoli designs – each telling its own story of light, faith, and triumph over darkness.
When the final results were announced, Abram Zuil Secondary School captured the top spot with an exceptional Rangoli creation that embodied the festival’s essence: the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
Aurora Secondary School secured second place for its meticulous artistry and cultural symbolism, while Anna Regina Secondary School placed third with a design that reflected unity, peace, and hope.
Other commendable performances came from Anna Regina Secondary School with third position, Johanna Cecilia Secondary (fourth), Cotton Field Secondary (fifth), Charity Secondary (sixth), and 8th of May Secondary (seventh), each impressing the audience and Judges with their creativity and team spirit.
The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha, Essequibo Coast Praant, continues to champion such initiatives to preserve Guyana’s Hindu heritage while inspiring young people to embrace cultural expression.
