Chapter 02 — Pre-Luminous · BMEP × EDC

Diyas, coloured with care.

Pre-Luminous, a collaborative initiative by Bihari More Education Project (BMEP) and EDC NIT Durgapur, brings children together to paint and decorate diyas, filling each one with colour, creativity, and joy.

Each handcrafted diya carries a touch of imagination and a greater purpose, turning simple creations into meaningful contributions towards the children's welfare.

A celebration where little hands create, and every colour carries a little hope.

Chapter 03 — Luminous

The ground becomes a canvas.

At the heart of Luminous, teams of four come together to transform ordinary spaces into illuminated works of art, arranging diyas into intricate designs inspired by a shared theme.

With creativity, precision, and collaboration at its core, each team brings its own vision to life through the warm glow of diyas. A panel of judges evaluates these creations, recognising originality, artistry, and teamwork.
