The Open events started after a short but interesting opening ceremony. After the mandatory speeches, the audience was treated to a dance performance by two sets of five girls. One set was dressed in jeans and jerseys, and the others in rustic green-and-pink Punjabi.
Both sets danced to the same bit of music, but differently. While the jeans-clad girls did a "modern" version, the other set did a combination of Bharatnatyam and Kathak.
The girls were from the rather curiously titled The Graduate School College for Women. The music was composed by their HoD in Music, Dr Binapani Mahato. Apparently, these girls have presented this dance for three inaugural functions in six days. The other two events before this were the National Archery C'ships and a cricket contest for the blind. The original choreography involved other girls performing the Jharkand folk dance called "Karma" with the other two sets of girls, but they fell ill after performing in the rain last week.
Various people contribute in various ways to an event, but only a few get recognised...
