In the competition, the participants were tested on their knowledge and understanding of the Bhagwad Gita. Maryam, who studies in the 6th standard has already read the Bible and is attending lectures on the Quran.

"My teacher told me that there is a Gita competition. You can take part. I asked my parents and they said that whatever religion is there, you can take part in it," Maryam said.
