Ramayana retold through a nine-scene rangoli in city school

Dasara is synonymous with the various dolls that are put up on display during the festival. For many households in Karnataka, these dolls are a matter of pride. But now, it’s not confined to people’s homes alone. The teachers at Sri

Vani

Education Centre have re-created scenes from the Ramayana, using miniature versions of mythological characters. A total of nine scenes from the Ramayana are currently on display at the school premises. Adding more colour to this recreation of the epic is a rangoli portraying Lord Rama, Sita and

Lakshmana

.
“Each of these nine scenes come with a hand-painted background, with the dolls set up in the front. A visual delight for visitors, the teachers have put in a lot of effort to set up this installation, which took more than two weeks to complete,” says Meenakshi Pillai, the art and crafts teacher at the school.
