Dr. Ambika recited Maithreem Bhajata, a Sanskrit benediction on audience demand and kept the listeners immersed in the divinity of the moment.
Dance and vocal music serve as an expansive artistic canvas for students to articulate their thoughts and emotions while enhancing mental and physical coordination. The students eloquently recited hymns from the Thiruppavai and Thiruvempaavai, enveloping the surroundings in a spiritual aura.
