Our endeavour provided the students a platform to present their ideas and feelings through poem composition, recitation, kite making, kite flying, Saraswati mantra recital, dances, and captivating works of art on the same theme. Some Students also shared pictures of the prasad preparation (sweet yellow rice) and invocation of Goddess Saraswati as part of their celebration of the festival at home
