Students and teachers at ITM Global School celebrated the vibrant festival of Makar Sankranti with great enthusiasm
Makar Sankranti is traditionally known for marking the arrival of spring in India, a time when the sun starts its northward journey, symbolizing new beginnings and hope. The festival is dedicated to the Sun God, revered as a symbol of divinity and wisdom.
To celebrate this auspicious occasion, students and teachers gathered at the school ground for a joyful kite-flying event. Flying kites, a popular tradition of Makar Sankranti, added an element of fun and excitement to the day. The sky was filled with colorful kites, and students cheered each other on, making the celebration a lively and memorable one.
In addition to the kite flying, the festival is also associated with various cultural rituals and feasts, but at ITM Global School, the focus was on bringing the community together through this delightful outdoor activity. The celebration was not just about fun, but also about learning the cultural significance of the festival and its connection to nature and spirituality.
The students thoroughly enjoyed the festivities, experiencing firsthand the joy of participating in a traditional celebration. The event also helped them appreciate the deeper meaning of Makar Sankranti, as a festival that honors the Sun God and the transition of seasons. It was a wonderful way for the school to foster cultural awareness and create a sense of community among students and teachers alike.
