“Play and Platter Carnival” was a part of the December celebration workshop, which every branch of Kanya Mandal had to organize at the local level. This included a food counter, games counter, and Jain books counter.
The sole purpose of organizing this festive workshop was to celebrate our Jain values while promoting a sense of community. The food counters strictly followed Jain dietary guidelines—no use of underground vegetables , making it purely Jain food. The games counter featured both educational and entertaining games that families could enjoy together.
Additionally, the Jain books stall helped promote our Jain religion and Terapanth tradition. It allowed the community to benefit from the books authored by our revered spiritual leaders. Many branches shared their valuable experiences with me, and the response was heartening.
Books such as *Preksha Dhyan*, *Swar Sadhana*, *Manage Your Emotions*, *Jain Lifestyle Picture Stories*, *Understanding Joy and Sorrow*, and *Body and Soul*—written by our spiritual masters—reached people beyond our community as well.
