Raksha Bandhan at CHSMA: Your Family's Creative Celebration
Ready to make this Raksha Bandhan extra special? At Chennai School of Music & Arts, we’ve turned our campus into a vibrant hub for family bonding through music, dance, and visual arts. You’ll leave with new skills, beautiful memories, and a deeper connection to the festival’s heart.
Why Our Workshops Work Best for Families
Our team has packed in just the right mix of activities so you don’t have to plan a thing. Here’s what’s in store:
- Music: Learn a simple Carnatic melody to sing for your sibling while they tie your bandhan.
- Dance: Try Bharatanatyam steps that echo the rhythm of Raksha Bandhan’s traditions.
- Art: Paint a mini-temple (or ‘mandap’) on canvas to display at home.
Best of all? We’ve designed these for all ages. Kids get hands-on playtime while parents enjoy a relaxed session. Plus, our ‘Bandhan Bar’ lets you customize your bracelet with beads and threads.
Pro Tips to Make Your Celebration Shine
After hosting 5+ Raksha Bandhan events, our faculty shares these game-changers:
Tip 1: Tie your bandhan during ‘muhurat’—we recommend 6:01 AM to 8:57 AM for peak energy. Our staff will handle the timing so you just focus on the moment.
Tip 2: Add a personal touch to your bandhan. We’ve teamed up with local artisans for silk threads (classic) or lightweight cotton (perfect for Chennai heat).
Tip 3: Capture the magic with our photo booth. We’ll give you a free print of your favorite shot—plus, share it on Instagram with #CHSMA_Raksha.
And here’s a bonus: Sign up for our workshops and get 15% off our summer music camp. It’s the perfect way to keep the creative spark alive all year!
Don’t miss our special ‘Raksha Thali’—a feast of masala dosa, coconut chutney, and sweet payasam. You’ll taste the festival before you even leave our campus. Ready to make memories? Your family’s Raksha Bandhan adventure starts here.
