A sabha's flag!

This is a small ceremony that The Mylapore Fine Arts Club in Mylapore follows at the start of the December Season festival. It invites its guests and awardees to assemble around a flag post on its campus and let the sabha flag be unfurled to mark the start of the festival.

It is indeed a simple act but it keeps the tradition which has been followed for many years, say sabha team members. And this is what took place on Wednesday evening this year.

One year, the flag looked dirty - like a rag hoisted on top. And when the state was pointed out to the then secretary, the late Venkataraman a new flag was put in place.
