School children sang songs hailing Kannada language and culture, including the state anthem.
MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, MLAs Vedavyasa Kamath and Dr Bharath Shetty, mayor Premananda Shetty, city police commissioner, N Shashi Kumar and others were present.

Sadly the national flag was hoisted upside down. It remained an embarrassing eyesore of the event. Officials who realised the blunder, correctly hoisted the flag immediately.
