Away from the spotlight and mainstream attention of the general events at the State School Arts Festival runs the Arabic Kalolsavam and Sanskrit Kalolsavam, but in the close to two decades of their existence as separate entities, these festivals have gained quite a wide following among students who learn Arabic and Sanskrit in school. Participation in these festivals are limited to such students.
At the Kadappakada Sports Club, the main venue of the Arabic Kalolsavam, S. Gafoor from Kondotty is getting ready to watch a play, based on the Israeli onslaught on Gaza, in which his son Mohammed Rinfan is playing the lead role.
