Rajyotsava Celebrations with colour,rhythm and fervour

The Rajyotsava Day is the state festival of Karnataka and is observed on November 1st every year. The day is celebrated to commemorate the birthday of Karnataka or formation of the state. In 1950, India became republic and different provinces were formed in the country on the basis of language spoken in the particular region and this gave birth to the state of Mysore including various places in south India, which were earlier ruled by the kings.
Later in the year 1956, all Kannada speaking regions of South India were merged into one state. The new state was named after Mysore, which by itself was a princely state. The name Mysore was not accepted by some regions like North Karnataka and Hyderabad of the present time and people residing these areas demanded the change in the name of the state.
At Inventure Academy, we held a Special Assembly to celebrate this day.The Rajyotsava Celebrations started with the prayer of peace.The Co-Curricular team lit the sacred lamp of knowledge.Our teachers Mrs.Jagrithi Prabhukiran and Ms.Nagashreee gave us a wide panorama of the importance of the day and the mark left by Kannadigas in every walk of life.Mr.Ganapathy Mrs.Sukanya and Mrs.Chandrika Iyer introduced the dance troupes.


We had two distinguished dance groups with us to give us a glimpse of the rich culture.The Kaveri Kodava Samaja members presented three dances-Chouripat,Bolakaat and Kathiyaat.A wonderful rendition of the warrior dance of the Coorg community.The synchronised steps and the flawless beats left us breathless.Our Physics teacher Mr.Ganapathy was one of the dancers and showed his prowess in the art form.


We also had the opportunity to witness the breathtaking Brahmari troupe exhibiting thier acrobatic skills with perfection.Although there was a problem with the acoustics, their synchronised movement,motion,balance and grace left us awestruck.


After these cultural feasts, our Inventure students sang a beautiful Kannada song.The rhyme,rhytmn and beat left us spellbound.

As a fitting culmination to this great event, we congraulated the students who had brought laurels to Inventure in the past few days.



We gave a fitting end to this great assembly by singing the National Anthem.
