The children undergo months of training and hard work to compete in the Ramayan Quiz, Ramayan Art, Hindi Quiz, Ramayan Test Piece, Gita Slokas, Bhajan Singing, Local Classical Singing, Instrumental, Folk Song and Dance categories of the festival. The festival began with the Chowtaal Sammelan in February and the finals will be held on November 17 and 18 at the Vishnu Boys Hindu School, Caroni.
