The students presented a dance programme `Arupadai Veedu' (stories on Lord Muruga), which was choreographed by Sujatha Mohan and Saradha Sethuraman, both disciples of danseuse Padma Subrahmanyam.

Bharathanatyam exponent Chitra Visweswaran lighted the traditional lamp to mark the four-day music festival.

She asked the parents to allow the children to take up some kind of arts along with their academics. According to her, music and dance could spin off positive energy to the children to perform well in their academics also.
