Students Craft Eco-Friendly Dolls for Navratri Celebration
In Bengaluru, students are making dolls called Gombegalu for the Navratri festival.
Instead of buying new ones, they're using old clothes, rags, and other things they don't need anymore.
They are making puppets, turning trash into art!
They're also learning about recycling and how to care for the environment while celebrating their culture.
They are trying to show that you can have fun and be kind to the Earth at the same time.
It teaches them that celebrations can be sustainable and waste can be turned into something beautiful.
