The evening started off with a India Bulls helicopter flying over the polo ground and showering rose petals. This was followed by a fashion show by Delna Poonawalla who featured riding inspired outfits, sarees and evening dresses on the catwalk. Strutting her creations were some of the top models along with some polo players and riders. The polo match was followed by a trick riding display from the Cavalry. The evening was capped off with a party on the ground with good food, drinks, live music and a great crowd.
