The school play featured this year was a dance drama depicting the life of the spiritual leader – Gautama Buddha. The drama began with the aftermath of the Kalinga War and shows how King Ashoka is grief stricken on hearing the story of the Buddha. It was prophesied by the sages that the child Buddha would grow up to be either a great emperor or a guiding spiritual leader. His father, the King did all in his power to see that the child was brought up without having to face or see any misfortune. But this was not to be. After the three sights of human tragedy, Gautama decided that he must find a path that will deliver all people from suffering. On the path to enlightenment, Gautama faces many problems right from being attacked by evil spirits to an assassination attempt. But Gautama rises above all this as Buddha enlightened. Ashoka inspired by the story of a great leader, follows in his footsteps.
This dance-drama enacted by the students was an enthralling journey through the life of Buddha and made for a very enjoyable evening.
