At Gaudium, this vision unfolds as students immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Indian heritage, exploring the intricate relationship between art and its cultural contexts. Recently, students embarked on a remarkable journey delving into the narratives of Hindu epics like the Ramayana through the creation of Cheriyal Masks, a traditional folk-art form of Telangana state.The project not only encapsulates cultural appreciation but also instills a sense of global citizenship and environmental responsibility. By utilizing recycled paper to craft the Cheriyal Masks, students demonstrate their commitment to sustainable practices, echoing their role as responsible citizens of the planet.
