Day 3 of Jolly Camp 2025 celebrated the theme Kalaihalin Eluchi (The Rise of Arts), highlighting the richness and rising presence of traditional art forms. The day began with a story about Velu Asaan, powerfully narrated by Mr. Chandran using parai to voice the tale with rhythm and depth.
The song for the day was written and composed by volunteer Ms. Jeyasri, with another inspiring song contributed by Dr. C. Jim Jesudoss.
Reflecting the spirit of the theme, junior, inter, and senior children gave expressive presentations on risen and thriving art forms such as Kathakali, Villupattu, Tholpavai Koothu, Poikal Kudhirai Attam, Paraiyattam, Toda embroidery, and Pagal Vesham.
The day was also celebrated as a Day of Beauty, with children dressed beautifully and participating with joy in all creative and physical activities. It was a colourful expression of art, movement, and confidence.
