It is mark of our undying tradition to invoke the almighty at the beginning of an important
event. Like the great philosopher Søren Kierkegaard once said “The function of prayer is not
to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.” I like to call upon
sushmitha and group to pray for us.

Thank you party we all feel blessed indeed!

Now, we will have our traditional auspicious LAMP-LIGHTENING ceremony as a tribute to
Mother Saraswati, the Godess of knowledge. I now request all the dignitaries on the dais to
light the lamp and symbolically inaugurate this program.

(Mother, we pray for your blessings with all humility – give us wisdom to make this world a
better place. May all human beings live in harmony with nature and other forms of life. May
the truth prevail. May the darkness of ignorance be swept away by the dawn of self-
realization.)

Thank you all.

Thank you again, have a good night.

 Try to have an informal type of anchoring, that way you can connect with your
audience and can have fun with them.
 Try to have short speeches from chief guest and principal or teachers. Your
audience comes there for entertainment, not for 45 mins of speech.
 Always remember that college students are your audience, not the teachers.
You should try to make the event a fun ride.
 It will be good if you have a co-host with you. With co-host, you can crack some
things for your audiences. If there is no co-anchor then interact with the audience.
In short, some sorta interaction is important.
 If you are doing anchoring for the cultural fest or any program for that matter for
a very first time then try to recite the anchoring script in front of the mirror or with
friends. That’ll give you more confidence.
Thank you one and all, enjoy!!
