One of the organisers, Aman Joshi, said, “As we announced this event among our community members, their excitement knew no bounds. We had invited some of the very famous singers and artistes from Dehradun.”

At the end, GBM vice-president Harish Dhasmana and Surya Prakash Kimothi enlightened the audience on importance of staying connected with one's roots and culture.
