Pongal Celebrations 2017

Pongal Celebrations 2017 at HindustanInternationalSchool Karapakkam was an extraordinary day with a typical village Pongal celebration. The halls and reception were adorned with flowers and thoranam, sugarcane stacked to grace the occasion. The day started off with a tamil speech on Pongal, an exclusive villupaatu by the teachers of the school and a pongal-themed tamil song beautifully sung by the students. Girls gracefully danced for a Kummiadi Song around the Pongal pot. An earthen pot was placed on fire with traditional fanfare. The chanting of Pongalo! Pongal! Pongalo! Pongal was exciting for the children. Sweet Pongal was made and cows and goats were fed bananas. Every moment was enriching for the kids who were able to experience typical Pongal celebrations firsthand. Folk singers Tamil Isaipannar Sellangkuppam M. Subramaniyan and crew performed many folk songs with Instruments and entertained the kids. Children went on bullock cart rides, played Uriyadi and had sweet Pongal and sugarcane to end the day with many fond memories…
