Actor Sudheer Karamana was an unexpected visitor at Putharikandam, where around 20,000 people eat every day. He says: “I always try to go to student art festivals. “I enjoy that not only as an artist but also as a person who has been a principal. In this festival, I watched Bharatanatyam (HS Girls) and loved it. Having studied at Kendriya Vidyalaya, I could not participate in the State School Arts Festival, but I was active during my college days, and won awards, including best player.”
