The diya-making activity offered students a unique opportunity to engage in both creativity and cultural exploration. By crafting their own diyas, students delved into traditional art forms and discovered the cultural significance of diyas in celebrations such as Diwali.
This hands-on experience fostered collaboration, as students worked together while expressing their individual artistic styles during the decoration phase. Additionally, the activity encouraged reflections on important values like the victory of light over darkness and the strength found in unity.
Overall, this experience enriched students’ understanding of their cultural roots while enhancing their creative skills.
