“The joy I could see in the faces spread over the hall was the most satisfying scene for me while performing. We are so lucky and thankful to have such loving listeners,” Amrit Gurung added.

Finally, a moment of national awakening and pride was celebrated with exuberance as the band played 'Gaun Gaun Bata Utha' and 'Rato Ra Chandara' before wrapping up the entertaining show.
