Indian tradition stronger in walled city!
Hello all,
Today the program was once again at a prestigious Haveli; ‘Jagdip Mehta’s Haveli’. Here there was enough space to accommodate the entire program on the terrace – 100 Posters, the Yuri photo-op station, the telescope, the visitor log station, etc. were set up.
Jagdip Mehta, the owner of the Haveli, remained present for the whole program. His personal efforts along with ours, ensured a huge turnout of enthusiastic participants in the heart of the city. More than 125 people participated and enjoyed today’s star party! We had to set the telescope to view the Moon as the sky was partially covered with clouds and Saturn was not visible. A naked eye presentation with a laser guide was also conducted in both English as well as the local lingua – Gujarati, which was received with great enthusiasm and considerable awe. They enjoyed naked eye observation as well.
Amazingly, today’s visitors wanted a very interactive experience. There were a number of questions and all the volunteers were busy explaining the science behind the facts displayed on the posters.
We celebrated Yuri’s birthday by announcing the occasion and distributing chocolates to one and all on the occasion of Yuri’s anniversary.
Press corps from local dallies as well as national press also covered the event.
Lapel buttons with logo of ‘100 hours of Astronomy’ were distributed to all visitors who sported them proudly and even asked for spare ones to share with friends and family who could not make it to the venue themselves!
Winners from Radio Astronomy quiz contest also came to participate as well as to collect their prizes!
For today’s program we would like to thank following : Urvi Vyas, Rajesh Nath, Usha Nath, Stephen Samuel, Jigar Darji, Ravi Gamit, Jagdip Mehta & family members, and other silent helpers.
Summary :
1. Venue : Jagdip Mehta’s Haveli, 1871 Moto Suthar vado, Khadia,
