Call-out for Poster Contest!

Hindu Heritage Month is recognized and celebrated at the TDSB during the month of November. Hindu dharma is one of the oldest living religions which have flourished for over 10,000 years. It is an occasion to recognize and celebrate the rich tapestry of traditions, teaching and values that are integral to Hindu dharma and practiced by millions around the world today. November is an opportunity to celebrate the Hindu way of life, examine its impact and contributions to world culture, and recognize values which promote compassion, peace, and inclusion.

As part of the celebration to mark Hindu Heritage Month during the month of November, all TDSB students are invited to be creative and submit an image to the Hindu Heritage Month Poster Design Challenge. The theme for Hindu Heritage Month 2024 is Antah Shanti for Vishwa Shanti. This Sanskrit phrase conveys that to foster World (Vishwa) Peace (Shanti) we need to have Inner (Antah) Peace (Shanti).
