In continuation we took traits of characters from Mahabharata and connected to human characteristics by talking about Vices and representing moral weaknesses that can impede an individual's happiness, relationships, and ethical behaviour. We used the ancient game of Mokshapatha to teach virtues and vanity is a creative and interactive approach to moral education. It helped students understand the impact of their actions and decisions on their path in life. By illustrating how virtues bring progress and vanity causes setbacks, the game encouraged students to reflect on their behaviors and how they can grow spiritually, emotionally, and ethically.
