Pathayema Samskritam || World Sanskrit Day 2024

World Sanskrit Day, also known as Vishva-Samskrita-Dinam, is celebrated annually to honor the ancient language of Sanskrit and its significance in Indian culture, religion, and literature. It is typically observed on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana, which usually falls in August. In 2024, World Sanskrit Day is observed on August 19.

The day aims to promote the use and preservation of Sanskrit, which is one of the oldest languages in the world and the liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Various events such as seminars, cultural programs, recitations, and competitions are organized to highlight the language's rich heritage and its influence on many modern languages.

Sanskrit is not just a classical language but also a repository of ancient knowledge, with its vast literature encompassing various fields like philosophy, science, art, and spirituality. World Sanskrit Day serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and promoting this ancient language for future generations.

The juniors of Shibpur Chhandita have performed a dance on a signature chant about the language 'Pathayema Samskritam' to celebrate this day.
