On Monday, IMNU saw the fall and rise of rockstars. No wonder it is about the Dahi Handi event celebrated at IMNU on Janmasthmi. The rockstars were none other than the students at IMNU attempting to break the Handi. The students here were eyeballing a day so auspicious in the calendar of IMNU. The first phase of the event took place in the morning at the hostel premises. The place drew over large number of people to pitch in for the fun. A particularly bollywood film affair; the set was at its place. The dhols were set. The amplifiers arranged for the event were ready to accentuate the loud wailings of the crowd. It is said the world is a stage and we all are the actors and the crowd here took this very seriously. The event opened up with each team making an attempt to break the Handi. Some teams managed to hit success in one go while others kept the zest and tried an another effort. Splashes of water and coloured faces with gulaal were all that the crowd could see. The second phase of the event took place in the evening. The crowd snapped again in huge number for the Puja. Everyone was dressed in traditional attires. The crowd chanted bhajans to seek blessings of Lord Krishna. Everyone felt that one should be at such places to soak in the awesomeness of it.
The colorful festival started off with great enthusiasm at IMNU. The cries of "Ganpati Bappa Maurya" were all over the campus.
The Ganapati Murti Sthapna took place in the boys hostel with all the students in a devotional mood. Paying highest regard to Lord Ganesha, all the students gathered in the hostel. Colors were all around. Beautiful rangolis made by the girls added to the color and the spirit of the festival.
After the murti sthapna, in the evening aarti had been organized which was attended in big numbers. There was a religious aura all around in the institute. Students danced with enthusiasm and passion for the festival. It was like celebrating a festival away from the family in a traditional way.
