News from NICO | NICO celebrates Onam to the sounds of the Chendamela

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.
