The visit not only provided a platform to appreciate cultural diversity but also fostered a deeper understanding of the rich heritage and craftsmanship of India.

Following the Surajkund Mela visit, students went to Urusvati Art & Habitat Center in which students witnessed national-level artist workshops providing a great learning experience for them. As the students stepped into the lively ambience of creativity, they were drowned in an energetic atmosphere of artistic expression. They interacted  with renowned artists coming from Kolkata, Kochi, Hyderabad, and so on. They were also exposed to different forms of craft and exchanged ideas. Through this workshop, students were given a chance to see how much dedicated, talented and motivated individuals it takes to make it in the arts. 

Further, students interacted with the artists and learned new techniques on art making that are inspiring as well as insights into the artists themselves.

It was not just about art that they witnessed at Urusvati Art & Habitat Center but a voyage towards finding motivation in creativity and love for creativity itself.
