The Rangoli-making competition, the first event, commenced celebrating women’s day on a very enthusiastic and creative note. This rangoli-making competition was held to bring out the creative artists that are latent within every single woman.

There was active participation and enthusiasm among the participants of 11 teams. Every team was given around twenty minutes to give their best shot at creating a rangoli with the colors provided to them. Working in teams of three, everyone was engrossed for those twenty minutes coming up with artistic, colourful, and vibrant rangolis. The team with the best rangoli was rewarded with a gift hamper at the end of the event.
