Girls’ folk dance event in the higher secondary section was one of the crowd puller events of the day with all the participants bagging an A grade in the competition. “Though some contestants reintroduced age-old themes and songs with slight modifications some others showcased stunning performances with entirely new songs and themes,” said a judge after the event. The patience of the participants, judges as well as spectators were once again put to the test as most of the events were delayed for hours on the second consecutive day on Wednesday. Events such as Mohiniyattam, Oppana and Kuchipudi events of girls, however, had packed audiences in front of the stages where they were staged on the JDT Campus.
