Charming !
Rajan is this day a public holiday ? do the leaders give speeches in all the media ?is it compulsory for school children to attend the celebrations, if not they are subject to some sort of punishments ? do they sing the national anthem when the Prime Minister
reviews the parade ?
Yes, this is a public holiday in Iceland. No, nothing is compulsory. Details of the celebrations are at this link – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_National_Day
Beautiful natural photos! You are a mini NatGeo. 😊
It’s almost like being there. Are you travelling these days or are based in Iceland?
Thanks. I live in Iceland.
Hope to meet you one day. 🙂
We have quite a few things in common. I first discovered your website while looking up for some ragas. Incidentally my elder brother’s name is also Rajan.

Thanks. Yes, it has a religious theme. Details of the Icelandic Anthem are here – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lofsöngur
