ANNOUNCEMENT OF ALL RESULTS - 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM - SUNDAY, JUNE, 14TH 2026
A Humble Request to All Patrons from Guruji Prasanna Kasthuri
Competitions naturally have different outcomes, and not every participant can receive an award. However, showing appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and artistry of all performers reflects our respect for the art form and for every artist who comes together to share their talent on this special day.
Last year, we observed that many attendees began leaving once the results for their category were announced, despite the remaining award presentations lasting only a short time. While we understand that everyone has personal commitments, this was somewhat disheartening for the organizing committee, volunteers, participants, judges, and families who had dedicated countless hours to making Natya Idol a meaningful experience for all.
We kindly request that everyone remain until all category results have been announced. Your patience, encouragement, and courtesy toward fellow participants help create a supportive, respectful, and celebratory atmosphere for the entire artistic community.
Once the award ceremony has concluded, you are welcome to stay and watch other artists performing or exit the venue in an orderly manner.
We would also like to respectfully remind all attendees to treat our volunteers with kindness and courtesy. Our volunteers generously donate their time and energy to support this event, and their contributions are invaluable to its success.
If you have any concerns or questions, we encourage you to bring them to the attention of the organizing team in a respectful manner. We kindly ask that attendees refrain from arguing with volunteers, as they are doing their best to assist everyone. Maintaining a positive and supportive environment not only helps the event run smoothly but also encourages volunteers to continue supporting our community in the years to come.
Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support. Together, we can create a welcoming, respectful, and memorable experience for all participants, families, and guests.
