Rtapalli Vidyapitha has a strong program in classical music (Hindustani vocal and tabla) and Odissi dance.
Rtashrees get an opportunity to perform on stage during annual Rtotsava.
Rtotsava (Rta + Utsava) - is the annual week long
celebration of our school around August 15 - the Rtapalli Foundation
Day. It starts with student presentations for several days on mathematics, physics
chemistry, biology,
literature and spirituality, and it culminates with the Snataka
Divasa (Graduation Day). The graduating students receive their
certificates after listening to "Matrudevo bhava...." from Prathama
Sikshyavalli of Taitreya Upanishad. It ends with a grand finale of
veda-patha, poetry reading, Odissi dance, folk dance, Hindustani classical music
(Vocal),(Tabla),
and one-act-play.
