On 27th September 2025, the Balvatika students of D.A.V. Nandraj Public School, Bariatu, presented a grand stage performance depicting the nine forms of Maa Durga. Along with this, the symbolic meanings hidden within these divine forms were also explained to the assembly with the help of teachers.
When the children recited verses from the Durga Saptashati in their innocent voices, it created a truly delightful atmosphere. The purpose of this program was to re-establish the cultural and allegorical significance of Indian traditions among children and to nurture awareness.
On this occasion, the Principal, Dr. Ravi Prakash Tiwary, encouraged the young learners through stories, inspiring them to become brave, courageous, successful, and disciplined in life. He explained that the nine forms of Durga are connected with medicine, yoga, protection, and good governance.
He also clarified the allegorical meaning of weapons and armor, stating: “As long as we remain within a fort, we are safe. The moment we step out, our protective circle weakens. Similarly, we must stay within the circle of discipline—formed by the guidance of parents and teachers—to remain strong and secure.”
