This was followed by a devotional performance titled Bhajananjali, where young student Ahana presented a melodious chant in homage to the divine, creating an atmosphere of deep reverence.

Next, the students performed a play titled Bal Ramayana: A Story of Valor and Dharma. In it, they enacted key scenes from the Ramayana, focusing on Lord Rama’s bravery and moral values.
