Celebrating the Monsoon with Rang Malhar

The occasion was the closing ceremony of “Rang Malhar Festival” which was convened by our very own Mr Vidyasagar Upadhyay Ji. This festival is one of its kinds and has been organized for the first time in India. Renowned artists practicing different art forms from various walks of society came together to welcome rains with the colorful umbrellas which were painted by them to show the various colors of Monsoon. Apart from the art galleries of the city, they showcased these umbrellas on the streets of the historical and picturesque city of Jaipur also. They visited various places like Jawahar Kala Kendra, Albert Hall etc with their umbrellas so that their art work can become the talk of the town and can reach to the common man as well.

To conclude the festival, they all got together at the school and invited all the students to have a look at those beautiful umbrellas and to experience the creative pedagogy behind the whole celebration. The idea was to educate the children and create awareness among them on water conservation and rain water harvesting. Everyone around was mesmerized when hundreds of students gathered on the lush green field of the school with the beautiful umbrellas in their hands. The students also asked numerous questions from these renowned artists to know more about their art work and had an absolutely wonderful time with them.
