This year’s theme is MATRITVA.

This can be loosely translated as “Motherhood – the essence of a mother!”  

Matritva has many forms. It is one of the most powerful experiences and one of the most sacred bonds, the earliest and deepest relationship one will have. It encompasses qualities like unconditional love, compassion, endless courage, nurturing and many more. 

Mothers can also be adopted. A shining example of that is Ma Yashoda, who so lovingly raised baby Krishna. Anyone or anything with these qualities is respected as a mother. The land of Bharat is Dharti Maa (Mother Earth), who holds us close to her bosom and sustains our life. Even animals such as Gau Mata (mother cow), who nurtures us with every part of her being, are venerated.   

Matritva may be the Divine kind, Devi Maa, the Divine Mother. She assumes many forms to help nurture and protect her children, her devotees.  

We will have some of the best performances of dance, music, and drama from area dance and music schools related to the theme of Matritva. We will also have winning entries of the Storytelling contest related to Hindu Heritage.
