Cultural Performance

The competition is open to groups consisting of more than three individuals.
Each institute is allowed to register only one performance group. However, different institutes can collaborate and form a performance group, subject to suitability and approval by the organizer.
Each team will be allotted 5 minutes for their performance, along with an additional 3 minutes for the stage preparation.
The performance should highlight cultural aspects while avoiding sensitive topics such as race, religion, politics, and any form of provocation. The chosen theme should be respectful and inclusive.
Participants are required to wear appropriate costumes that represent the culture they are showcasing. These costumes should be tasteful and suitable for the stage.
Participants can use either live instruments or recorded music for their performance. The music should enhance the performance and not distract from it.
