On 25th September 2025, Advanced Academy Indore was buzzing with excitement as students, teachers, and parents gathered for Virasat Voyage 2025-26. The school was transformed into a stage that brought to life the story of one of India’s most respected queens, Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar. The event was more than a display of talent. It was a journey through history, showing courage, devotion, and leadership.

The program began with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp and a warm welcome to the Chief Guest, Ms. Swati Kashid, National President, Akhil Bhartiya Maratha Mahasangh, Indore (M.P.). She is a social worker and advocate who has dedicated her life to women’s empowerment and preserving culture. Her work reflected the values of Ahilya Bai—selfless service and justice.

The story of Ahilya Bai came alive through many wonderful performances. Aayansh Namdeo and Bhavya Thoke performed a small enactment showing Ahilya Bai’s wisdom and courage from childhood. The story of her life was then shown through many beautiful performances. Shiv Bhakt Ahilya showed her strong devotion to Lord Shiva, while Chhoti si Ahilya, Bade Sapne by the Nursery children presented her innocence and childhood dreams. KG students performed Shiv Vandana, a graceful prayer dance. In the skit Mitti ki Mahak, young Ahilya’s wisdom was highlighted when she chose to build a well for the villagers instead of a temple. Vivaah se Rajpath tak portrayed her marriage to Khanderao Holkar, and Mangla Gauri Poojan brought to life the traditions and warmth of her family life. Nyay ki Murti displayed her fair and wise leadership, and Dhol Dhamal showed the happiness of her people under her rule. Nrityanjali highlighted her work in Maheshwar, building temples, ghats, and supporting sari weaving. The finale, Samarpan Ki Pratima, beautifully showed Ahilyabai as a symbol of service, sacrifice, and love for her people. Each performance reflected her dedication, justice, and service, leaving everyone inspired.

In her speech, the Chief Guest, Ms. Swati Kashid, praised the efforts of the young students and encouraged them to follow the values of justice and compassion shown by Ahilyabai Holkar.

On this occasion, Chairman of the school Mr Anil Rai Sir, Director Dr. Savita Rai Madam, Director Mrs. Timsi Rai Madam and Principal Mrs. Usha Kiran Tomar Madam appreciated the presence of the parents and encouraged the commendable work of the children and teachers.

The event ended with the national anthem, filling the hall with pride and unity. Everyone left inspired, and the young performers felt proud to bring history to life. Virasat Voyage 2025-26 was a celebration of heritage and the timeless lessons of courage, fairness, and service taught by Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar.
