IIM Ranchi’s Khelgaon hostel premises came alive with a festive fervour as the students celebrated Janmashtami, which marks the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. The event was organised by the Cultural Committee of IIMR.
The programme began with
Matka-Phod, which created a euphoric atmosphere all over. The students cheered on enthusiastically seeing the human pyramid take shape. There was a loud cheer as the
dahi handi was broken. The celebrations continued until midnight when
Krishna-Janm was celebrated. Beautiful
rangolis and colourful
diyas lit up the ambience of the hostel common room. Sweets were offered to everyone present following the
puja.
The chants of ‘
hathi ghoda palki’ filled the air and the students were left mesmerised as the as the celebrations came to an end.
