|
The Ramayana Week celebration 2015 (27 to 31 July) was inaugurated by noted environmentalist and Head of the Department of Economics Prof. Dr. Nirmala Padmanabhan.
In her inaugural address she recounted how the auspicious month of Karkidakam was observed with piety and sanctity in the days of yore. She also highlighted the ubiquitous presence of nature in the ancient world during which the events in the epic are said to have taken place.
She said that students of Bhavans Vidya Mandir, Elamakkara, were rather fortunate to be in a school amidst lush green environs and concluded her speech by exhorting students to go green in all their activities.
This was followed by the customary Ramayana Parayanam and rendering of bhajans by renowned vocalist Reshmi N. Nair.
