Pongal Celebrations at our School was conducted on January 10, 2023.  Students of Std. V, VI and VII attended the celebration. The campus  wore a festive look with Painted Pots  and Rangoli drawn near the assembly stage.  Sugarcane which symbolises Pongal adorned the stage.

The function began with the Gayatri Mantra. The Welcome Speech was given by Niveditha Arvind of Std. V-B.  The cultural events began with a tribal dance by the students of Std. V. They depicted Pongal Celebrations at the “Anaimalai Hills”. The Performance was awesome and the audience enjoyed it a lot.

The Students of Std. VI gave a Stupendous performance on different sports being played during Pongal through  dance. Silambam which is a martial art form and other folk dances like kararagattam, oyilattam were depicted beautifully by the students. The highlight of the programme was Jallikattu, a traditional event during Pongal was thoroughly enjoyed by one and all. The students were also dressed in traditional costumes which were a feast to the eyes.
