The Kannada festival, which we celebrate once a year, our Kannada Rajyotsava, was once again celebrated in our school this year with great enthusiasm and grandeur. The event, conducted by the Kannada students of Class 9, was of exceptionally high quality.
The celebration began with our school principal hoisting the flag. The students then paid their respects to our state by singing the Naadageethe (state anthem). The cultural programs started with a prayer dance dedicated to River Kaveri, delighting everyone. Students presented speeches with clear and meaningful articulation about our land, language, and the history behind Kannada Rajyotsava, making it understandable and impactful for all. A dance drama followed, which resonated deeply with the audience. The students depicted the story of the fearless Obavva, who sacrificed her life for Karnataka, in a captivating performance.
Jai Karnataka Maate!
