On November 12, 2024, the students of Std. II and Std. III presented their Annual Function "Embracing Rhythmic Diversity" in Urvi Auditorium with great enthusiasm and exuberance. The auditorium came alive with thrilling dance performances by the students, who embraced India's diversity via their dance skills. The theme of the event took the audience on a captivating journey across the country's various dance traditions, fostering togetherness and cultural understanding among students and the community through the global language of dance. Traditional dances from various states, such as Bhangra (Punjab), Garba (Gujarat), Bihu (Assam), and many others, demonstrated India's oneness in the midst of its diversity. Students demonstrated remarkable diversity via their performances, which is strongly engrained in the country's ethos, showing the peaceful coexistence of many cultures, languages, and traditions.
