For the first time in the history of COEP the sky lantern festival was organised on its own ground on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti to mark the beginning of Zest’ 16. Makar Sankranti signifies turning away from the darkness of delusion in which we live, and begin to enjoy a new life with bright light within us to shine brighter and brighter. So is the theme of ZEST which is “AGNIPANKH” which signifies one’s struggle and desire to achieve their goal .
Zest’ 16 has a total of 88 events which will be held from 23rd to 26th of January. The theme of this 14th edition is ‘Agnipankh’ which signifies struggle and desire of an individual to achieve the ‘Highest Goal’ in life.
Overall the festival was enlighten by students with some beautiful lamps and the touch of good music.
To spread the theme of Zest, around 1000 students participated in Kite Flying event. The entire sky above the COEP’s college ground was occupied with kites. Students tried their best to compete one another to ensure their kites are at the top.
