Kicking off at 4:30 PM, the event offered a welcome break from academic life, drawing a large crowd eager for fun and relaxation.

The fashion club Fanatics stole the spotlight with a captivating runway show, featuring bold and creative ensembles blending contemporary and traditional styles. Their striking performance earned cheers and applause from the audience. This was topped by the food stall which served varieties of chats, enjoyed by both students and faculty alike.

As the night deepened, a DJ took over, transforming the space into a dance floor with energetic beats that kept everyone moving until the event ended at 6:30 PM.

Raasmela was a huge success, offering a perfect mix of entertainment, food, and community, making it a memorable night for all.
