Featuring demonstrations by Chandrika and Biswajit, the session introduces students to the principles of costume design, including character interpretation, historical and cultural authenticity, fabric selection, colour harmony, silhouette, and stage functionality. Through practical examples and live demonstrations, participants gain an understanding of how costumes contribute to character development, visual storytelling, and the overall aesthetic of a production.
