Bharathi School celebrated Pongal, the harvest festival, in a unique yet traditional manner on the 12th of January 2026 by transforming the school premises into a typical Tamil village buzzing with festivities. The students joining hands with the teachers grandly celebrated the culture, bravery, and compassion of the Tamil community. Grade 6 students created a commercial street named "Bharathi Sandhai", where they acted as vendors, managing a jewellery shop, utensil shop, clothing shop, vegetable shop, toy shop, and snack shop, giving a real-life experience of visiting a village fair during a festival. The celebration also included the Arts Festival, featuring all traditional forms of Tamil Nadu, such as Silambattam, Kummiyattam, Parai performance, Oyilattam, Karagattam, a devotional Kavadiyattam, and a Perunjalangai dance, celebrating the joy of a good harvest and community togetherness. In addition to the above, the vibrant Tamil folk dances, Mayilattam (peacock dance), Cow dance, and Puliyattam (tiger dance) were a feast for the eyes. Various traditional sports competitions, such as Tug of War, were held for students from Grades 1 to 8, and they enjoyed them with a festive spirit. The entire campus became a family as the students dressed in traditional attire, made pongal in a new pot, and chanted "Pongal-o-Pongal". This celebration, which brought our ancestors' arts and business practices to the present generation, will remain etched in students' memories.
