It was a sea of saffron. More than 80,000 assembled in a sprawling arena, cheering their idols. Men, women and children swathed in saffron. Huge saffron flags were being waved. The proceedings began with Garuda (Eagle) landing in the middle of the grounds. There was a lot of music, marching of massed bands and disciplined drill by hundreds of youngsters. Drill with flags, lathis (batons), gymnastic performances show-casing kushalata (skill), parishram (hard work), deeksha (concentration) and niyam-palan (discipline).
They were united in one purpose - lustily cheering the saffron brigade decimating their opponents. The atmosphere was festive. The police were present in their efficient best to lend their weight in favour of smooth conduct of the demolition.
The whole exercise was a cake-walk with even token fight not being put up. Not withstanding the hot sun, the saffron humanity lustily cheered each breaching egging the storm troopers for further rampage. Walls (defensive) crumbled one after the other. After a couple of hours, nothing was left. The demolition was complete and the victorious gloating.
