It was a fun filled musical depiction of nine human emotions ‘Navras’ comprising Shringaar, Hasya, Bhaya, Adbhyut, Karuna, Vibhatsa, Raudra, Shaant and Veer ras. The items were very well presented and were knit around a group of children who were being narrated stories based on these emotions by their mother and grand mother. Each emotion was depicted by a musical number which was choreographed elegantly. The sets, lighting arrangement and beautiful dresses added charm to the entire programme and left the audience mesmerized. The annual day celebration came to an end with a grand finale. All the participants and the teachers involved came on the stage and the audience appreciated them with a loud round of applause.
