This year’s 48th Annual Festival of India from July 1-12 was a virtual one on account of the current pandemic situation. As in the past, the Krishna Funskool team hosted a range of children’s programs for the virtual Kids Area. We had yoga sessions, a cooking demo, puppet show, drama workshop, crafts and more!
There was also another way children could participate- by sending in videos of their performances dedicated to the theme of the festival. This came in along with some beautiful colouring and craft work. Please see below for the contributions.
