So fill in as many activities during the 8 days of Paryushana & then add all the points in the ‘total points earned’ box.
There are two categories for entry: Ages 5-15 years & 16-25 years
Separate 1st, 2nd & 3rd Prizes will be given in both categories for achieving a total of highest points. Certificates will be awarded to all participants. Return the completed form to Archana Maru at JVB London Centre. Last day for submission: 7 September 2008.
