At Muni International School (MIS), education transcends mere textbooks and exams. It’s a vibrant journey that celebrates culture, tradition, and the essence of being Indian. The school hosted a spectacular event—the Gyan Mela (29th August 2024) —where students showcased the diverse states of India with pride and enthusiasm.
A Kaleidoscope of CulturesThe Gyan Mela was a kaleidoscope of colours, flavours, and rhythms. Each state came alive through its unique customs, attire, and culinary delights. Let’s take a closer look at how MIS students celebrated the rich heritage of various Indian states:
Maharashtra: The land of Ganesh Chaturthi and Bollywood, Maharashtra was represented with vibrant sarees, dholki beats, and mouth-watering vada pav.
Punjab: Bhangra echoed through the air as students donned colorful turbans and Punjabi suits.
West Bengal: Dressed in elegant sarees and kurta-pyjamas. The sweet melody of Rabindra Sangeet and the fragrance of mishti doi (sweet yogurt) enveloped the audience.
Bihar: The simplicity and warmth of Bihar were beautifully portrayed. Students wore traditional dhotis and saris, while the air was filled with the aroma of litti-chokha—a rustic delicacy.
Chhattisgarh: The tribal heartland of India came alive with colorful tribal attire. Students performed the energetic Karma dance, celebrating nature and community.
