Three assembly formats
| Format | Approach |
|---|---|
| 5-minute story | Durga and Mahishasura as a story of courage, without graphic details |
| Regional showcase | small groups present Gujarat, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Karnataka traditions |
| Values theme | nine students each present one quality such as discipline, courage, care or clarity |
Classroom accuracy
Explain that sacred stories are part of religious tradition and that not all Hindu families celebrate identically. Avoid treating Indian culture as a single costume, dance or food.
