We at Aksarā believe that the Hindu festival of Navaratri is one of India's most creative festivals! It is a festival that celebrates the creative energies within us. The festival is an opportunity to discover our creative powers, acknowledge and give reverence to them. Hence we have creative workshops and creative groups lined up for all age groups for the 9-day duration of the festival.
