As the dawn broke on the vastly spread Krishna riverbed downstream of Prakasam Barrage on Monday morning, colourful khadi dotted the landscape near Tadepalli marking Gandhi Jayanti.
It was the students of city’s Samana Institute for Design Studies who lit up the otherwise serene riverbed filled with sand and patches of greenery beneath the Kanaka Durga Varadhi into a much more attractive scene that was a rare sight for the onlookers.
The event was organised by Amaravati Walkers and Runners Association (Awara) in collaboration with SIDS. Walking on the pastures, the final year students of fashion designing from SIDS presented a colourful traditional and western wear made out of khadi.
A series of Bollywood numbers in the background pepped up the huge gathering including students and members of Awara.
Meanwhile, the members of Awara led by its founder K. Ajay appeared in khadi garments and demonstrate the importance of khadi fabric. It was the members of Awara who over years turned the untidy premises of the riverbed into a pathway with clean sand and greenery for the morning walkers and runners. Khadi spinning machine on display at the show attracted the participants who tried their hand. SIDS head Samana Moosavi was present.
