The students of Presidency School, Nandini Layout presented a show on the Navarasas, the nine emotions, at Chowdaiah Memorial Hall. Bangalore City Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari inaugurated the first session. The show, spread over two days gave an opportunity for all the 1746 students of the school to perform on stage.

The children depicted all the navarasas – shringara, hasya, karuna, raudram, veera, bhaya, adbhutha, bhibhatsa and shanta through various dance forms.
