The grand finale, the festivals of India was planned and featured by Arijeet Mukherjee, Artist Association of India from Delhi. His team of coordinators Balwinder Kaur Saran, Swamiraj Vise and dancers showcased well coordinated lovely folk dances of Maharashtra (dindi and koli), Hariyana (khoria ghumar), Tamilnadu (karkattam), Tripura (hojagiri), Gujarat (daangi and garbaa), Punjab (giddhaa and bhangaraa). Because of energy, costume, novelty in dance postures and supporting music, all these dance forms were very well received.

The introduction of each form of dance was done skilfully by Dipak Soliya, whose narration was catchy and audience friendly. His clear diction and choice of words deserve special accolades. Audience participated of their own at the crescendo including the trustees and office bearers of Bhavans when the dancers of other forms too joined in getting spirited with the grand vibe.

This concluding session was ended with thanks giving by Ramesh Oza, the trustee, whose brain child was this festival of Unity in Diversity. He acknowledged the contribution of the special persons of the festival by inviting Jagdish Lakhani, Niranjan Mehta, Uday Mazumdar, Dipak Soliya, Ajeenkya Sampat, Praful Parab, Anil Pran, Riya and Dev, the student volunteers to the stage.
