The programme was inaugurated by the welcoming of the Chief Guest Prof. N. Prasad Co-ordinator, Metallurgy, The programme started appropriately with ‘Vandana’- invocation to the trinity Gods- Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. The audience was moved by the distinct recital of the Shloka by the sparking dipsites. The first dance performance was well worded as it was performed brilliantly The orchestra student (53 in number) with their mesmerizing performance on Raag Mishra Peelu followed by the melodious number ‘We the DPS family’ forced the audience to tap their feet in the same rhythm.
The Korean fan dance left the audience spell-bound. That was one of the most popular and appealing Korean folk dance. The dancers opened and closed their fans with a light-hearted smile to a flowing rhythm. The climax was when the dancers formed big fluttering flowers. The sprawling lawns of DPS Varanasi reverberated with loud applause when the dancers formed various figures by the movement of their fans. The last performance of the day was the dance item ‘ Ritu Rang’. The songs of the six ritus (seasons) were based on the six ragas- Shri, Malkaush, Vasant, Deepak, Megh and Bhairav. The wonderful depiction of the seasons through the perfect amalgamation of ‘rag’ and taal’ won the heart of the crowd. The aesthetic sense and the effort to spread the aroma of our rich cultural heritage among the students won high appraisal. A special mention should be made of the comperes of the whole programme – Ksitiz, Palak, Harsh, Ujjawal & Esha of classes IV & V. Their wonderful expression & description of the various events knotted the whole show in a single ornamental string. The programme ended with a vote of thanks followed by the National Anthem. |
