The parents of winner Dyuthi Bhat expressed their joy, stating, “I have been dressing up my daughter as Krishna for the past three years during Janmashtami. It’s wonderful to see the children in Krishna’s attire. This is her second time participating in the Daijiworld Udupi contest, and this year, she emerged as the winner.”

The parent of Dwanishree shared, “I have gone through various websites of Krishna costume contests. I have been interested in making her participate in these contests. I am happy that she won the prize, and it is really nice to see children dressing up as gods; looking at them gives us real happiness. I will surely try to make my daughter participate in these contests in the coming years.”

Himanshi Devadiga’s parents remarked, “This is the first time my daughter has participated in a Krishna costume contest, and she won a consolation prize, which encourages us to make more efforts and participate every year.”

Naveen added, “Even though my daughter won a consolation prize, it is a big achievement for us. Every parent dreams of their children achieving in various fields as they grow up; this is the first step for my daughter’s success.”
