One thing at complete contrast from similar functions held in India is a relaxed atmosphere with no police in sight. I was able to go to as close as two metres to the Premier (Chief Minister) and take this pictures. The Premier, dressed in an Indian attire looked cheereful. She delivered a brief speach, which was followed by a cultural program.
