When the adults take the stage, large trucks with celebrants soaked in a variety of colours travel around the country to various venues matching skills with other groups in chowtal singing, dhantal playing and drumming. Some tassa groups also enter the arena to add some heavy drumming for participants to dance. The Hindu Prachar Kendra has added a different touch to its style of celebrations. While abir spraying is the order of the day with some introductory chowtal singing, the main event is the live televised broadcast of its Pichkaree song contest to the nation. Sung in English and interspersed with some lines in Bhojpuri or Hindi.
Contestants compose songs on topics that are of cultural importance.
