Maveli with the Dignitaries…
Dr. RajagopalaNair, our Director, speaking on the
occasion explained the significance of Onam to
Keralites; where one dreams of a world that does not
differentiate between persons. Onam, he said, may have
lost many of the pomp and splendour it had earlier,but
is still one occasion where we come together and spend
some quality time with family and friends.
