It has always been our custom to celebrate at Kannawidan. You hear it from the air full of the reverberating drums and in each thrum, you hear the adrenaline coursing through your veins, pounding the heart callously. We celebrate its raw vibrancy because we also hold witness to our beliefs, pride, and respect for what we believe in. The opportunity for us to own our talent placed in the celebrant comes to us through Kannawidian. This is where people get to be who they are, meet new people, expanding their network of friends, and feeling the thrill of excitement and anticipation. This natural adrenaline is why Kannawidian is being celebrated.
It's an energetic celebration of our common
heritage. It's a celebration that is acknowledging our living cultural heritage in the strongest sense of the word. The beat of the drums is more than accompaniment to music; it is at the center of our society, a pounding throb of celebration of our shared heritage and shared destiny.
Apart from the temporary thrill and excitement, Kannawidan is also significant in preserving and passing on our cultural values to our future generations. The stories, songs, and dances that have been passed on to us are not just remnants of the past; they are living legacies of our faith, of our dreams, and aspirations. We are somehow keeping our heritage alive and making it contemporary in this fast-paced world by watching Kannawidan.
The festival also helps to bring people
together as well as foster social cohesion and strengthen community relations. The festival brings together different people, who have a common platform on which to gather, endure, and embrace one another. The shared platform of Kannawidan bridges the gaps and brings about oneness and sense of togetherness that makes us as people. The potential to meet new people and expand social networks is an important aspect of the festival, enriching lives and strengthening the sense of community.
In essence, Kannawidan is more than a festival; it is an active embodiment of our heritage, something that unites the community, and a dynamic expression of our common identity. It is a heritage to be nurtured, kept, and bequeathed to generations to enjoy, where it would still possess its unique energy and cultural heritage. The energy, the passion, the lively air – these we honor Kannawidan for, and how it remains part of our cultural inclination.
