Onam a harvest festival is one of the most significant festivals of Kerala. It also marks the homecoming of the Great King Mahabali. Sumptuous feasts, folk songs, elegant dances, energetic games, elephants, boat race and flowers all are a part of this dynamic festival.
In
order to give an insight into various cultures and traditions of
different states, the school celebrated the festival of Onam with great
enthusiasm and fun. Wittians
of grade IV – VI together with the teachers decorated “Pookalam”
(Rangoli) using fresh flower petals and leaves. A lit diya placed on the rangoli brought in the festive look of Onam and took
everyone into a world of festivity and fun. A ‘Show and Tell’ activity
was organised where Wittians of Grade I - III brought pictures and
objects related to the festival and spoke about their importance in the
Onam celebrations.
Students went back with the message of oneness and brotherhood that the festival signifies.
