The blend of clay modelling and use of diyas was a refreshing challenge for the participants who came up with spanking new ideas that included some of the current burning topics.
The models that stole the show included themes revolving around Samaikyandhra, Titanic ship, an Octopus, a kalasa kundam and an Egypt pyramid.
