We celebrated Pongal and Lohri this past Sunday. Traditional Rangoli welcomed us all at the school entrance. Telugu students did a small presentation about Pongal in the assembly. Later, vibrancy of India was displayed in the eclectic ethnic outfits that students and parents wore.

We started with traditional customs of Ganesha pooja, aarti, blessing the kids. The Pongal celebration peaked with Gobbillu dance by girls. We then switched gears with a rendition of the Sundri-mundariye Punjabi folk song for Lohri. We moved on to the foot-tapping beats of Dhol, the Indian "happy drum". Folks danced away in a celebratory dance for the harvest festival. Traditional North/South Indian sumptuous food wrapped up the event.
