India is known as the land
of contrast and diverse elements. There are many seasons and festivals that
give glimpses to this encyclopaedic dichotomy of emotions, sights and the
changes that happen as the seasons go by. The festival of Lohri is celebrated throughout the
country in different forms, having various regional names as a harvest
festival. It is called Pongal in the South, Bhugali Bihu in Assam, Bhogi in
Andhra Pradesh and Sankranti in the central part of the country. Modes of
celebrating Lohri are also different, but the message conveyed by the festival,
that of setting aside differences and rejoicing by celebrating the end of the
harvest season and the chilly winter is the same.
Students of Witty International School,Atun Road, Bhilwara enthusiastically participated
in the winter fest showcasing the winter harvest festivals of India namely
Lohri and Makar Sankranti on Friday, January 12,2018.
The programme started with the sharing of information
about the importance of celebrating these festivals in our life. Students of
Grade VIII presented a scintialling dance and rocked the floor. The celebration
continued with the lighting of bonfire by the academic and admin head Mrs Abha
Mittal.
Fun and frolic marked the occasion, traditional Prasad of
revri and popcorns was distributed to everyone.
