The Vidyalaya took great pride in welcoming them and to be their host for the day. Here they were introduced to the local culture of Uttarakhand.

They were shown glimpses of Yoga postures, Jaunsari folk dance, Kumaoni folk dance and the signature dance of the Vidyalaya The Ganga Dance. A musical group led by Mr. Nandlal Bharti one of the renowned folk artist of Uttarakhand was one of the attractions of the day. They praised all of it and were delighted.
