The 20th of
August was the day of three great occasions in Indian cultural tradition. The Raksha Badhan, the Narali Pournima and
the Sanskrit Day, were celebrated with over-whelming enthusiasm in the campus.
Narali Pournima marks the beginning of fishing season and the
fishermen who depend on the sea for a living, make an offering to the Lord
Varuna.. so that they can reap bountiful fish from the sea. In western India, Parts of Maharashtra,
Gujrat and Goa, this festival is celebrated.
Raksha Bandhan (The Bond of Protection) or Rakhi is a Hindu
festival primarily observed in India which celebrates the relationship between
brother (Shourya), cousins and sisters (Shreya). This festival is observed by Hindus, Sikhs
and Jains. This Occasion celebrated at
the campus, threw open the gates of kinship when the unrelated boys are given
the status of siblings and the girl children tied Rakhis to their wrists. An emotional fervor was evident when the inmates
of Balgram and other hostels were bound with Rakhees by the girl children.
In a huge gathering, school children presented cultural
programs on the occasion.
