Illustrate The Meanings

Worksheet Description

This interactive worksheet is designed to help students understand and visualize the symbolic meanings behind the celebration of Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights. At the top of the worksheet, Diwali is described as an important festival in Indian religions, with an emphasis on its symbolic representation of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. To the right, there is a small illustration of a diya, which is a traditional oil lamp used during the festival to symbolize the victory of light.

The main activity directs students to draw pictures in provided boxes to illustrate these concepts. Each box is labeled with one aspect of the symbolic victory that Diwali represents: “light over darkness,” “good over evil,” and “knowledge over ignorance.” This drawing exercise encourages students to think creatively about how these abstract concepts can be represented visually. By engaging with the worksheet, students can reflect on the deeper meanings of Diwali and express these understandings through art. This not only reinforces their grasp of the festival’s themes but also allows for a personal connection to the cultural significance of Diwali. Through such activities, students are able to explore the rich traditions and teachings of this joyous and enlightening festival.
