An informative session on traditional block printing and Dabu printing was conducted for the INTACH students. The session introduced students to the work of Aavaran, a Udaipur-based label founded by Alka Sharma in 2011, which focuses on preserving traditional crafts such as Dabu mud-resist printing, hand block printing, and natural dyeing.
The students learnt about the traditional techniques involved in block printing, including the use of wooden blocks, mud-resist methods, indigo and natural dyes, and the importance of skilled artisans in preserving this craft. They also gained an understanding of how traditional printing techniques can be adapted into contemporary designs.
The session helped the INTACH students appreciate the cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and sustainable practices associated with Rajasthan’s traditional textile arts. It also highlighted the role of organisations like Aavaran in supporting artisans and keeping these traditional techniques alive.

Activity: Ganesh Chaturthi Celebration
Venue: The Vision Academy School Premises, Udaipur
Organised by: INTACH Heritage Club, The Vision Academy School, A Unit of RMV, Udaipur*

The INTACH Heritage Club of The Vision Academy School, A Unit of RMV, Udaipur, celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi on 14 September 2026 with devotion, enthusiasm and a focus on understanding India’s living cultural heritage.

The activity was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Pratima Samar, Principal, and Maansi Tikku, Vice Principal, with the support of Heritage Club in-charges Radha Soni and Bindu Salvi. INTACH Head Girl Rani Soni, along with Nishtha Kumawat, Kanishka Bairwa and other Heritage Club students, actively participated in the celebration.

Ganesha Story and Cultural Understanding

During the activity, students learned about the traditional story of Lord Ganesha. According to Hindu tradition, Goddess Parvati created Ganesha and asked him to guard the entrance while she was bathing. When Lord Shiva returned and Ganesha stopped him from entering, a conflict arose. Later, Lord Shiva restored Ganesha’s life with the head of an elephant. This is traditionally understood as the story behind Ganesha’s elephant-headed form.

Students learned that Ganesha is worshipped as the remover of obstacles and the deity associated with wisdom, knowledge and auspicious beginnings. They also discussed why Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated and how the festival has become an important part of India’s cultural heritage.

Heritage Learning

Students explored the traditions connected with the festival, including Ganesh idol making, decoration, puja, flowers, durva grass, modak and other traditional offerings. They discussed how different families and regions follow their own customs while celebrating the same festival.

The students also understood that festivals are an important form of living heritage, as they preserve stories, rituals, art, food traditions, community participation and cultural values. The traditional art of making Ganesha idols was discussed as an example of the connection between craft, devotion and local artistic traditions.

Special emphasis was given to eco-friendly celebrations. Students were encouraged to understand the importance of using natural materials and avoiding practices that may harm the environment.

Through this activity, students realised that heritage is not limited to historical monuments; it also includes the festivals, beliefs, stories, crafts, food, rituals and traditions practised by communities.

The celebration concluded with prayers and a message encouraging students to respect and preserve India’s diverse cultural traditions while celebrating them responsibly. The activity became a meaningful heritage-learning experience, connecting students with the stories, traditions and values associated with Ganesh Chaturthi.
