ICSK, Senior Celebrates Sanskriti 2025 – A Spectacular Tapestry of India’s Rich Culture and Student’s Creativity
The Indian Community School, Senior, buzzed with excitement on Tuesday, 25th November 2025 with colours, rhythms, and the warmth of togetherness as it celebrated Sanskriti 2025 – India’s Cultural Mosaic, a festival lovingly curated for the first time by the Department of Social Science. More than just an event, Sanskriti 2025 was a heartfelt journey—a beautiful reminder of who we are, where we come from, and the heritage that continues to shape us.
The celebration began with Dr. V. Binumon, Principal and Senior Administrator, along with Simra Samir Duduke of class IX, inaugurating the grand Indian Cuisine Exhibition. Students showcased hundreds of regional delicacies, each dish carrying a piece of its homeland—its aromas, its traditions, its soul. Recipe cards handwritten with care narrated the journey of each dish, weaving together ingredients, history and culture. The exhibition offered an experience that felt like a journey across India in a single afternoon, allowing visitors to savour the diverse flavours of the North, South, East and West.
The experience extended beyond taste. Stunning posters, models, charts, and handcrafted exhibits created by students filled the venue with colour and meaning. They beautifully portrayed the languages, textiles, scripts, art forms, and symbols that give India its unmistakable identity. These exhibits reflected the department’s mission: to nurture 21st-century skills, to help students stay connected to their roots, and to inspire learning that goes beyond the pages of a textbook.
The atmosphere grew even more vibrant as students arrived dressed in the traditional attire of different states. With grace and pride, they explained the significance of their clothing, jewellery, and customs—bringing stories of their ancestors to life and reminding everyone of India’s timeless unity in diversity.
The cultural segment in the auditorium added yet another layer of beauty to the day. The programme began with a warm welcome by Mr. Illiyas, Head of the Department, Social Science, who reflected on the purpose of Social Science education—to think, to feel, to understand, and to stay rooted in values.
The session was inaugurated by Dr. V. Binumon, who praised the Social Science Department and students for creating such an inspiring experience. His message highlighted the power of experiential learning in shaping young minds.
Felicitations by Mrs. Susan Rajesh, Vice Principal of ICSK and Mrs. Mini Shaji Joseph, Deputy Vice Principal of ICSK expressed heartfelt appreciation for the creativity, research, and sincerity shown by students.
A short, soul-stirring video followed, celebrating the vast cultural heritage of India. It set the tone for the performances that came next—folk dances, classical rhythms, and regional music that filled the auditorium with energy and emotion. A thought-provoking MIME performance titled ‘Cultural Diversity of India’ captivated the audience. It conveyed a strong message of national pride, unity in diversity and the enduring spirit that defines incredible India.
The event drew to a close with a sincere vote of thanks delivered by Mrs. Sona Mary Salim, Department of Social Science acknowledging the tireless efforts of the Social Science Department, teachers, student volunteers, and performers who breathed life into Sanskriti 2025.
In every dish, every costume, every dance step, and every word, Sanskriti 2025 was a celebration of identity, pride, and togetherness. The event touched hearts, inspired and reminded the gathering of the extraordinary heritage they belong to.
