കലിക 2023 🌼 GCTE'S ONAM CELEBRATION - 23 & 24 August, 2023

                🌼കലിക 2023🌼

The festival of Onam is celebrated throughout the state of Kerala. Kerala during Onam is marked by happiness, excitement and enjoyment among all sections of people. Onam is celebrated as an outcome of reasons that have to do with mythology as well as old agrarian practices. If one is to go by the myth, then King Mahabali or Maveli was a generous and virtuous ruler, who had once ruled Kerala. Mahabali asked Vamana to place his third step on his head, and pleased by his benevolence, Vamana blessed Mahabali before he was sent to the nether world and granted him permission to visit his dear subjects once in a year. This occasion is celebrated by all Keralites as Onam.
And the other cause for celebrating Onam is because it is the time of the year when a good harvest has been gathered all over Kerala, resulting in plenitude and happiness.The celebrations for Onam are held for ten days, beginning with the atham asterism in the month of Chingam (August / September) as per the local calendar.

Government College of Teacher Education, Thycaud, had its colourful onam celebration കലിക 2023 on 23rd and 24th of August. On the first day, the college Principal, Dr. A V Sujith Sir, inaugurated the program. Dr.Omanaseelan Sir, the Associate Professor of English, entertained the audience with a rhythmic onam song. After the inaugural ceremony, the various games commenced.

On Day 1, all the major games took place in the college campus.

Group dances were presented by the B.Ed and M.Ed students.The prizes were also distributed for the winners of games. The first day ended with the vadamvali competition.
On the second day of കലിക 2023, a beautiful athappookalam adorned the college corridor. A mega thiruvathira by Ist year B.Ed and M.Ed students was the major attraction of the day. Maveli Thamburan's presence made the day even more special. Many other programs like dance, vanchipatt and thumbithullal were also performed. Onasadhya was also served to all the staff and students.
