HYDERABAD
The world has evolved from prehistoric times to the hi-tech world of today. The evolutionary facets of the earth were displayed in an exhibition called "Sanskar and Seemaya" at Gitanjali School. The exhibition displayed the stages of development with sections on Language, History and Geography. The ancient times were brought alive by models and pictures of the tools of the Palaeolithic age, the wild Aurocks and the Pashupati seal. The civilisations — Harappa, Babylonia, Mesopotamia had grand displays too. In the Egyptian section the script of Hieroglyphics, models of the King Chepren and Queen Nefertiti were displayed by the students.
In the Hindi section children dressed up in appropriate costumes to portray the culture of the ages. Tulsidas, Kabir were "seen" reciting verses in a Kavi Sammelan. So were Mahadevi Verma, Jaishankar Prasad and Harivanshrai Bachchan. The world of the English language brought together the stalwarts of prose, verse, drama and poetry. Kabuliwala by Tagore was enacted as a puppet show. Sarojini Naidu welcomed you to "The bazaars of Hyderabad"— turbans of crimson, tunics of brocade and flower girls could all be seen as they sold their wares. The Telugu section highlighted Andhra Pradesh tourism, poets and great personalities including the Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. The geography section displayed on the computer screen clouds and the effect they have on weather. The fashion design department came up with a live fashion show depicting the traditional embroidery and saris of India.
From the garden of Babylon, the verses of Kabir to the embroidery of the Kutch region — "Sanskaar and Seemaya" was a beautiful and informative display.
