Onam, the harvest festival was celebrated at NICO to the sounds of the pulsating Chendamela on 26th August 2023. Music, dance, pookalam, games, the mandatory tug of war, the “break-the-pot-blindfolded”, not to forget the scrumptious Sadhya made Onam, a day to remember.
The day began with the drawing of the Pookalam and the Chendamela entering the premises with students dancing & matching steps with the beat. After the traditional Sadhya served on banana leaves, two rounds of lemon-and-spoon race, two rounds of sack race, two rounds of break-the-pot, everyone was ready for the tug of war. With a lot of cheering from the audience and the music reaching a crescendo, both parties gave their best.
The day ended with the Chendamela playing for one last time and bunch of tired but happy faces dancing to the beat.
