In the words of dignitaries,it is important to inculcate the sense of aesthetics and tradition right from the young age. An event like Art Mela helps the learners to understand and develop their own perspective for different forms of art.

Month 2015-16 Secondary In the presence of the Divine ISKCON Temple, Mira Road Our students were taken for an architectural tour to ISKCON Temple, Mira road on 22nd September, 2016. The learners spent about three hours there, exploring one of the most beautiful temple of Lord Krishna in Mira Road. The learners were taken through a brief history of Lord Krishna s life story by various resource persons. They were shown a presentation of the entire architectural design and the intrinsic work in different areas of the structure. The experience of visiting the temple was so serene and soothing that learners offered their prayers and spent a few minutes in meditating before the deities. Learners were also offered prasad and finally, the day came to an end when they boarded the bus and left the temple premises to get back to school. It was a wonderful experience for both the learners as well as the teachers. 7 7

From the Kid s Corner Poem Sharing is caring for others, Caring is bearing others. Happiness is doubled when shared, Everyone feels good when cared. Owing things is human; sharing is divine, Even if they don t repay its fine. Seeing a smiling face is better than a frowning one, Even God has shared with us many things including the Sun. If you want yourself to be cared by others, It s my advice- just share, share and share with others. -Kshitij Jha 8-Uno.A picture is worth a thousand words, as the saying goes.our learners are engaged and stimulated by art and have employed colour, pattern, line and materials to give their work a special energy in the eye of the viewer. 9 9
