In the presence of students, parents and well-wishers, Maha Shiv Ratri was celebrated in the school campus with full enthusiasm. Puja rituals started at 5:30 pm and continued up to 6:30 pm. Speaking on the occasion, Sri L. N. Handique said, “Lord Shiva is symbolic to meditation and yoga; and he is the Supreme Power who governs the cosmic energy.” He recalled the different names of Lord Shiva and urged the students to develop the habit of meditation for achieving peace of mind. He also shared the importance of the day with the students. Later on, students chanted the Shiv Linga Ashtakam and sang different Shiva bhajans. After completion of all the rituals, everyone offered their prayers by pouring water and milk on the Shiva Linga.
