A colourful dance performance by 150 children from ‘Khudey Pandit-er Pathsala’ followed. Children attired in green, red and yellow costumes danced with patriotic songs “Purbo digantey,” “Aaji Bangladesher hridoy hotey” and a song heralding spring “Bashonto phul gathla mala”.
Next was a performance by the top 20 contestants of “Khudey Gaanraj.” They performed “Moder gorob moder asha amori Bangla bhasha.”
