In ‘Yashoda Krishna’ and ‘Devaki Krishna’ mothers acted along with their children. In the ‘Vasudeva Krishna’ category fathers had come on stage along with their children. Other competitions like ‘Sri Krishna’ (for Class II, III and IV children); ‘Geetha Krishna’ (for students up to Class VII where one had to create Geethopadesha situation with costumes); ‘Yakshakrishna’ (for children up to Class X with the costume of Yakshagana (Badaguthittu, Thenku thittu.); ‘Radhakrishna’ (children up to Class VII and in pairs); ‘Radha Madhava’ (Class VII and above students in pairs); Shankanada (For children up to Class VII); ‘Shankhaudgosha (Class VII students and open to all); ‘Nanda Gokula’ (episode presentation of Lord Krishna’s life by a group i.e, entire family members with a minimum of five members) entertained the people.
