Maitri Sangha felicitates centenarian institutions and individuals
A group called Maitri Sangha held a special event to honor important places and people who have been around for a very long time, like over 100 years!
They celebrated by giving awards to organizations such as old libraries, famous colleges, and religious centers.
They also honored a singer who is almost 99 years old.
The people from Maitri Sangha felt it was important to remember these centenarians because they have done so much good for society.
It's like thanking our grandparents for all their wisdom and help!
