The Indradhanushya festival, in which students from all schools run by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) participate, will be held early in December, officials have stated. The event, which is celebrated every two years, did not take place in 2024-25, according to officials.

Typically held at Worli’s NSCI dome, the event brings together students across civic-run English, Urdu, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati, Telugu, and Kannada-medium schools. From drawing, physical education drills, rhythmic basketball, to lezim, a folk dance and drill, the programme allows participating students to present an array of skills as a unit in front of nearly 4000 guests. Students from neighbouring wards have been assigned activities, officials said.
