CHILDREN at College Fields Nursery School, Marlborough, took part in an Indian dance workshop on Tuesday, in preparation for the Hindu festival of truth and light, Diwali.
Bharatanatyam Dance, which originates in southern India, was used to tell the story of Rama and Sita's journey into the forest. The children recreated the actions of the animals living in the forest through dance.
Dorothy Clarke, of the Mugdha Youth Dance Company, tried to provide a complete Indian experience for the children.
"They enjoyed the colours of the bright Indian costumes, playing with traditional musical instruments and trying food such as mango," she said.
Liz Barnes, owner of the nursery said: "It's nice for the children to experience different cultures. A lot of them got into the spirit by dressing up."
