These plays not only defined the their Dharma, but also depicted the divinely ordained tests of life, as it were, to judge the strength of an individual.
Shruti Negi, of class IX was awarded a special mention for her performance as Sita. The other participants, Aryan Singh (IX), Arya Khanna (IX), Raghavendra Singh Gulia (IX), Chirag Chawla (IX), and Vidit Sharma (IX) were also commended by the judges for their animated presentations.
We thoroughly enjoyed this learning experience.
