Onam, the harvest festival of Kerala, was celebrated at school on Friday, 13 September 2019 by the staff and students of Pre-primary. Children brightened the campus with their colourful ethnic wear in the traditional attire of Kerala.
The festival of Onam is dedicated to the King Mahabali who sacrificed himself along with his kingdom in order to stand true to his words. The day was marked by the special assembly of KG 2 B children, and they enacted the mythological story of King Mahabali, followed by a song and dance sequence in Malayalam to commemorate the day.
Children brought petals of different colour flowers from home and were engaged in making a colourful flower Rangoli – ‘Pookalam’. The flower Rangoli was a collaborative activity of all the staff members of the school. The huge colourful flower carpet adorned the portico of the school campus, symbolizing peace and serenity in the world, economic well-being and resource sharing, love and brotherhood, high ethics and morals, and human justice and conservation of nature.
