The local police help. Esp. the Traffic Police wing.
We expected 126 people but my guess is that 110 must have taken part in the contest.
And most seem to hail from the Mylapore and K K Nagar area.
Perhaps there is a need to raise the profile and attract women from all over the city.
And the suburbs too.
The events on the main stage rolled well after the contest.
The team of acrobats led by Syed Jaffer drew the biggest applause.
We quickly screened an old film on Mylapore. A 30mins docu which focuses on the need to restore and revive heritage here.
The classical dance which had to start only at 7.30 pm because of prodosham went on till 9.20 pm and people stayed on.
And life in the Art Street refused to die even as late as 10.10 pm.
Which gives us an idea - can we have the street life on till late for a week during the fest?
What do you think?
Mail us feedback please!

Woow,Thats really nice to have such contests in a festival.I think that you guys have nice time during this festival season. Can u post some photos (if u have) so that we can also look and feel the same?
Late Saturday Night will be fine. otherwise if it is a school/office day it will be hard for non-mylaporean, non-vehicle owners to get back home.
Every thing of the festival was enchanting.
