Seventy-five yoga enthusiastic friends participated in this group group activity of creating different types of Ganesha Idols at Sri Prasanna Veeranjaneya Yoga Kendra, Mahalakshmipuram, Bengaluru. With great amount of dedication students put together their creative skills and prepared 45 different cute Ganesh Idols in clay (purchased at Pottery Street of Benson Town, Bengaluru). Many students gave ornamental look to Ganesha they prepared using pulses, small seeds, pepper, tooth-picks, beads etc.
Our Senior yoga practitioners Dr Sharmila Bhat and Smt Lata Hegde demonstrated, guided and helped the students in creating attractive Ganesha Idols. After taking snacks and group photos students carried homes Ganesha Idols they prepared with zeal.
SPV Seva Trust conducts periodically many such group activities. As observed by us, such group activities help students-
- develop their social skills, (getting along with others’ perspectives and attitudes),
- develop teamwork skills, sharing ideas,
- build trust with each other, which can lead to better communication and decision-making
- help people develop leadership skills, guide the group and its members to achieve their goals.
- help learning by increasing opportunities.
Group activities also help students feel a greater sense of purpose and motivation, help bondage and create/strengthen friendship. Students can inculcate and develop self-esteem, patience, forbearance and empathy towards others.
