Students of Vijnana Vihara Residential School put up an impressive display of discipline, artistry, and daring athletic skills at the school’s 46th Annual Day celebrations held at Gudilova on Sunday (January 11, 2026).

The programme commenced with a spirited Musical Band (Ghosh) parade by the Class IX and X students. Girl students then captivated the audience with visually striking star formations using sarees, while younger students presented a Human-Star formation symbolising unity, creativity, and teamwork. Adding a festive and cultural flavour to the event, students performed Kolatam, the traditional folk dance of Andhra Pradesh.

A series of breathtaking Mallakhamb performances like Human Mallakhamb, Pole Mallakhamb Asanas, Rope Mallakhamb drops and Hanging Mallakhamb were also demonstrated by the students. The programme also featured aerobic speed drills and rhythmic clapping exercises.
