The opening ceremony has a suggested color theme of purple, indigo, and white – the colors of Yuva Navika. This is optional but creates a unified visual experience. Other events do not have specific color requirements.

The closing gala is a semi-formal event. We encourage formal traditional attire, cocktail dresses, or formal suits. This is a chance to showcase elegant cultural fashion or formal western attire.
