After welcoming the everyone present, began the first competition, ramp walk which was based on the drapes of India that is, diverse saree styles from each and every corner of the country. All the students were oozing with confidence, style and grace.

Competitions like Rangoli and Pookalam were held in the auditorium while Mehendi competition was held in the language room. The participants spent a lot of time designing and finishing their pieces even if it looks effortless.

‘There are moments you can't put into words. Just decorate it with henna'. The seemingly effortless mehendi designs of all were intricate and stunning.
