The next stroke of extravaganza

From a three-year-old to 90-year-old, all drew their imaginations on the canvas at the Colorothon at Hyderbad, making it the biggest ever painting competition with about 10,000 people participating in it on Sunday.

"It is a unique event which brings together people belonging to three generations under a single platform to express themselves through art and painting and thus give an opportunity to the company to connect with and establish and strengthen its relationship with them. G&C Colorothon is also plans to take the event to Vijayawada next," informed an organiser.

The event also hosted a kickstarter for Delphic Games which had brought to life a magnanimous 100 meters wall as the Delphic Art Wall Corner and proved to be quite a hit among one and all.

Founder and chairman of G&C Global Consortium Pvt Ltd AVR Chowdary said that people must cultivate a habit of getting up in the morning, particularly the youth. “Some of the youth have not seen a sunrise so far in their life, which is very bad,” he added.

Colorothon will soon be foraying into other major cities, such as Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata and Guwahati. “Our vision is to see Indians from all over the country of all ages and all groups take to painting on a day which will be celebrated as Colorothon Day,” said Ahmed Shariff, one of the organisers.

“We will be approaching the Tourism and Culture Separtment seeking their support and funding for this social cause and take this event to all major cities in India,” he added.
