Holy Hearts Educational Academy, Civil Line, hosted a captivating SPIC MACAY programme featuring Mohiniyattam, the graceful classical dance form of Kerala. The mesmerising performance was presented by Mrs. Manjula Murthy and her team of instrumentalists, offering students a wonderful glimpse into India’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.

Through expressive movements, elegant gestures, rhythmic footwork and soulful music, the artists beautifully portrayed the storytelling traditions of Indian classical dance. The enchanting presentation captivated the students and faculty members and introduced them to the beauty, discipline and cultural significance of Mohiniyattam.

As part of the programme, Mrs. Manjula Murthy conducted an engaging training session for the students, introducing them to the fascinating concepts of Mudras, Bhavas and Rasas—the gestures, expressions and emotions that form an integral part of Indian classical dance. Students participated enthusiastically in the session and had the opportunity to experience the art form themselves.

The programme also included an interesting quiz based on the performance and Indian classical dance, in which students participated with great enthusiasm. The winners were felicitated with prizes by the Guest of Honour, adding to the excitement and learning experience.

The event concluded with the felicitation of Mrs. Manjula Murthy by our Honourable Academic Director, Mr. Parshant Vashisth, Principal Mrs. Neepa Chauhan, Vice Principal Mr. Kamal Kishore Agrawal, and Headmistress Miss Shalini Agrawal.

The programme proved to be an enriching cultural experience, inspiring students to appreciate, understand and preserve India’s timeless artistic traditions. The soulful performance left the audience with a deeper admiration for the richness of Indian classical art and culture.

Holy Hearts Educational Academy, Civil Line, extends its heartfelt gratitude to Ashutosh Sir for providing the students with this wonderful opportunity to witness and experience such a meaningful cultural programme.
