Are your kids being educated about Dussehra through exciting and creative crafts?

An understanding of diverse religious traditions and cultures is encouraged in children as a fundamental aspect of their education and personal growth. During this festive time, little ones can be engaged in Dussehra arts and crafts through fun-filled activities.

Ignorance is burned down as the tale of Dussehra is uncovered.

Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is of significant cultural and religious importance in India. It marks the triumph of good over evil, symbolising the day Lord Rama vanquishes the demon king Ravana after a fierce battle. This victory is seen as a representation of the power of truth and the triumph of righteousness over wickedness. 

Dussehra is celebrated with large parades, plays depicting the famous story, and the burning of statues. The nine-night festival dedicated to the goddess Durga is concluded with this celebration.
