A comprehensive development of a student is impossible with just the textual knowledge alone. In this regard, students should be introduced to mythology, history, art, and culture from an early age. Keeping in mind this objective the school has constructed a beautiful park called ‘Mathangavana’ in the campus. The park, designed within the framework of mythology, not only engages students but also captivates the parents and the public. This facility is one among several specializations created for students pursuing their education here. It allows them to acquire knowledge while immersing themselves in a rich cultural and historical context.
At the entrance to Matangavana, there is a small temple dedicated to Lord Siddhivinayaka. Inside, one can witness extraordinary sculptures that depict mythological and historical stories. The lifelike statues of legendary figures such as Sudhama, Ekalavya, Dhruva, Prahlada, Shankaracharya, Matanga Muni, and Markandeya, among others, provide a vivid portrayal of the guru-shishya tradition. The narratives of great personalities from mythology and history, who found purpose in life through their exemplary abilities, are showcased marvelously.
On the right side, there is a meditation center with therapeutic medicinal plant gardens. The surroundings are designed to provide students with a peaceful place to reflect and engage in activities such as studying, meditation, yoga, and more. The 16 green leafy columns in front lead to a gopura (tower), and within the gopura are sculptures of various deities, including Lord Ganesha, Shiva, Parvati, and others. During the break between classes each day, the students are given the opportunity to study, meditate, practice yoga, and engage in other activities. The beautiful monument dedicated to Vedamurthy Hattiangadi Ramachandra Bhat is built in the park, in front of it a yajna kunda (fire pit), features the instruments he used in his daily worship rituals. This setup enhances the visual connection to the world of mythology and history, enriching the overall experience.”
