ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

This event is more than a competition—it is a cultural confluence of children and parents.

Conceived with a singular vision, the festival seeks to introduce the rich Bharatiya Jñāna Paramparā (Indian Knowledge Tradition) to children through engaging competitions and inspiring stories, and to parents through a thoughtfully curated Vishista Vidyā Parikrama (Unique Educational Journey).

Our aim is to create a meaningful platform where families come together, rooted in the shared values and wisdom of our cultural heritage.

FOR OUR CHILDREN: Competitions

To ensure age-appropriate engagement, participants are divided into two groups.
Note: Each student may participate in only one competition.

Drawing: Theme – “Bhavya Bharat” (Magnificent India)
Storytelling (Katha Vachana): Stories from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, or Bhagavata

Group B: Ages 11 – 16 Years
