SRM University-AP is a home to diverse group of students coming from different parts of the country and the world, who speak different languages, follow different religions and have different beliefs; the university is a melting pot of cultures and together the varsity weaves a wonderful tapestry. As part of this wonderful diversity, SRM University-AP makes it a point to celebrate festivals and honour the culture of every community and state. The Onam Celebration, Aaravam on campus saw the students join hands to put forth a beautiful spectacle in the form of traditional dances like Thiruvathira Kali and Bharatanatyam and a wonderful amalgamation of Indo-western dance and music performance.
The celebration of Onam, a harvest festival of the southern state of Kerala is made in remembrance of King Mahabali’s reign which was believed to be equivalent to the Ramrajya. King Bali’s reign oversaw no discrimination or ill-treatment of his subjects, people lived in perfect harmony and prosperity. Onam is celebrated in remembrance of this golden era.
The vibrant festivities witnessed the participation of Registrar, Dr R Premkumar, Deans of all schools, Directors, Faculty, Staff, and students of SRM University-AP.
