Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India (NewsVoir) Over 4,000 students of Dr. MGR-Janaki Women's College celebrated Aadi Perukku, a Tamil festival observed on the eighteenth day of the Tamil month of Aadi to express gratitude for rivers. Donning half-sarees and sarees, students performed many traditional practices, capturing the essence of the occasion. During the celebration, students participated in the 'mulaipari' worship, carrying earthen pots filled with sprouts from nine different types of grains and legumes. The girls floated lamps in a small pond, in a symbolic reenactment of the traditional practice typically performed in rivers.
