    ARTS-INTEGRATED LEARNING THE FUTURE OF CREATIVE AND JOYFUL PEDAGOGY The NCF 2005 states, ”Aesthetic sensibility and experience being the prime sites of the growing child’s creativity, we must bring the arts squarely into the domain of the curricular, infusing them in all areas of learning while giving them an identity of their own at relevant stages. If we are to retain our unique cultural identity in all its diversity and richness, we need to integrate art education in the formal schooling of our students for helping them to apply art-based enquiry, investigation and exploration, critical thinking and creativity for a deeper understanding of the concepts/topics. This integration broadens the mind of the student and enables her / him to see the multi- disciplinary links between subjects/topics/real life. Art Education will continue to be an integral part of the curriculum, as a co-scholastic area and shall be mandatory for Classes I to X. Please find attached the rich cultural heritage of India and its cultural diversity in a tabular form for reading purpose.

  • Festival of Navaratri [Nine Nights]
    Aum Sri Parasakthiyai Namaha Festival of Navaratri [Nine Nights] Parasakthi Sarva mangala maangalye Shive Sarvaartha Saadhike I Sharanye Triembake Devi Naaraayani namosthuthe II Oh! Narayani! Lord Shiva’s Devi [Consort]! The One, Most-deserving to worship! Auspiciousness Personified! The one with three eyes [Sun, Moon & Agni]! The One who fulfils each and every request of the devotees, however high or low they may be! My humble pranams at your Holy Feet! Page 1 of 13 Navaratri Mahotsavam [The Super Festival] Navaratri is a festival dedicated to the worship of Parasakthi [Amba]; usually referred to as Durga as Goddess Durga symbolizes Power or 'Shakti' aspect of Parasakthi. The word Navaratri means 'nine nights' in Sanskrit, nava meaning ‘nine’ and ratri meaning ‘nights’. During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Devi are worshipped. The tenth day is referred to as Vijayadashami or "Dussehra" (also spelled Dasara). Navaratri is a major festival celebrated all over India and Nepal. Though four sets of Navaratri occur in a year, Sharad Navaratri, the most popular one, is referred to as ‘Navaratri’. Navaratri or Navadurga Parva happens to be the most auspicious and unique period of devotional sadhanas and worship of Shakti (Amba- the sublime, ultimate, absolute creative energy) of the Divine conceptualized as Mother Goddess Durga, whose worship dates back to prehistoric times before the dawn of the Vedic age. A whole chapter in the tenth mandal of the Rigveda addresses the devotional sadhanas of Shakti. The "Devi Sukta" and "Isha Sukta" of the Rigveda and "Ratri Sukta" of the Samveda similarly sing the praise of sadhanas of Shakti.
