💐 Heartfelt Acknowledgment

A special thanks to Mr. Marri Krishna Reddy for his continuous encouragement and support toward women empowerment and entrepreneurship development.

✨ The event stood as a celebration of creativity, culture, and community — reinforcing the power of collaboration and the spirit of Digital Mahila Sangam.

The Diwali Fest – Traditional Games event, organized by Mr. Krishna Reddy, brought together children and senior citizens to relive the joy of traditional Indian games and childhood memories.

As part of the “Back to the Roots” initiative, the event beautifully revived age-old games such as Ashta Chamma, Pallankuzhi (Palli Meka), Carrom, Spinning Tops, and more — creating a nostalgic and joyful atmosphere.

Children enthusiastically learned how these games were once played, while elders cherished their memories from the good old days. The air was filled with laughter, fun, and togetherness as every generation connected through play.

The celebration concluded on a spiritual and festive note by lighting Diwali diyas (lamps) and kakara vattulu, symbolizing light, positivity, and the essence of tradition.

✨ The event was a grand success, reminding everyone that our roots and traditions hold timeless joy and meaning.

As part of the cultural events hosted at IIT Hyderabad from 5th to 8th October, we were delighted to present a curated show of Koyya Bommalata, the traditional string puppet theatre of Telangana. The performance offered delegates an immersive experience of this age-old storytelling art form, blending folklore, music, and craftsmanship.

In addition to the performance, we also conducted a hands-on workshop on Cheriyal Mask Painting, introducing participants to the unique art tradition of Telangana. Attendees explored the process of painting with natural colours, learning the intricate techniques that go into creating these expressive masks.

The event aimed to celebrate and preserve India’s rich cultural heritage while providing participants with an opportunity to engage directly with traditional artisans and practices.
