Diya (9) turned our Ramayana cards into a hit exhibition - Itihasapurana

A Class 4 student’s show-and-tell in Bengaluru wowed visitors—and built her confidence.

Namaste,Meet Diya, age 9 (Class 4). After learning the Ramayana characters with our flashcards, she created a show-and-tell exhibition in Bengaluru (2025): all 55 characters on a single table, neatly arranged with short intros. Visitors were amazed at how many characters they’d forgotten—or never known—and Diya’s poise grew with every question.

Highlight of the day: Dr. Swarnamalya, leading Bharatanatyam dancer, congratulated Diya for her excellent presentation. (Story shared with permission.)

  • Invite curiosity: “Ask me anything about this character”
  • Outcome: confidence for the child, real learning for visitors
