More than 50 students participated in the event, where they were introduced to the basics and fundamentals of Xattriya dance such as including Mati-Akhora, Hasta and Nava-Raas.

The event concluded with solo dance presentations by three Xattriya dancers - Anannya Mahanta, Bishwasi Mahanta and Swagata Sarma - under whose initiative the event was organized.
