The third day of Celesta International 2026 unfolded in a vibrant celebration of music, movement and visual creativity, as students from Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and different parts of India came together to showcase their talent and celebrate the richness of cultural diversity.

The day opened with the Traditional Folk Dance Competition, themed ‘Rhythm Roots – Where Every Step Tells a Story’. Through vibrant costumes, expressive movements and folk traditions from across India and abroad, the young performers brought diverse cultural narratives to life, winning warm appreciation from the audience and judges.

In the ‘Crescendo’ Competition, students presented songs and poems from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), London, showcasing their vocal finesse and musical expression.

The afternoon resonated with the collective energy of the ‘Symphony Ensemble’ Orchestra Competition, where teams brought together varied instruments and musical traditions in compositions centred on peace, brotherhood and patriotism.

Visual storytelling found expression in the Mixed Media Art (3-D Collage) Competition, where participants created intricate artworks within three hours on the theme ‘Ways to Wonder Art’. Their imaginative creations offered yet another perspective on the power of art to communicate ideas, evoke emotion and celebrate the world around us. 

Thus, the day became a celebration of unity in diversity — expressed through every step, every note and every stroke of creativity.
